Spirit #11

Spirit #11
Still a ton of fun, even as Darwyn Cooke wraps up his stint on this revival by bringing the El Morte story to a close. And yet, it's still a done-in-one. This issue showcases Denny Colt's girlfriend more than it does him, which is similar to what Eisner often did in some of the best Spirit stories - relegating the Spirit to a bit player in his own title. It's done well, and it works very well. I'll miss Darwyn Cooke when he's gone. He's an EXCELLENT storyteller, and has done an EXCELLENT job of making this book EXCELLENT.
