Gage's Midnighter isn't the walking slaughterhouse (at first) that we've come to know and love, but that's not a bad thing. I loved the way everything went. Even when Midnighter is being shown in a different light, he retains all the dark humor and ultraviolence that he's known for. When Jack Hawksmoor sends Midnighter to get in touch with his human side and act like a normal hero for once, he gives it a genuine effort, but the world he lives in takes over and a simple errand turns into a fight against cyborgs and a mad scientist with drops of We 3 thrown in for good measure. Even adopting a pet like a normal person is done in the most bizarre way possible. The writing, both the dialog and the plot itself, were excellent. The art was a little weird but I didn't mind. I like the self-contained stories that have been in this series and I think this one is the best so far.
