Heroic Threesome

First Wave #1, by Brian Azzarello and Rags Morales

This conceit of this one is that Batman, The Spirit (legendary early comics hero largely unknown outside the world of people who like comics) and Doc Savage (pulp hero from back when the pulps were big) get to team up to fight crime and stuff. It is quite good, reasonably thrill-powered, etc., but I suspect you would be better off seeking out reprints of original Spirit and Doc Savage stuff. Nothing here demands that I acquire the second issue.
