I'm still enjoying this strong mix of supernatural, psychological and crime elements in this vigilante saga.

Still, a great series. Get on it.

art is amazing. If I have any complaints it's this: I hate the look of the main character. He looks like such an average nerdy dweeb. I don't need chiseled handsomeness, but...ah, maybe it's just me.Still, a great series. Get on it.
