The Question continues his futile fight to clean up Hub City, first taking care of the makers of plastic firearms, then going to his high school reunion, and then trying to survive a tornado on election day...
Wow. While the Question beating the shit out of people is pretty exciting, his best conflicts are the ethical ones. How does Hub City's vigilante handle a politician running on a platform of hate without sinking to his level?
There are too many things to spoil in this volume so I'll keep it brief. Dennis O'Neil spent the first two years of the Question building toward the end of this volume. Unlike other comics, things will never been the same again. O'Neil was playing the long game and it paid off in a big way.
If I had to pick something to complain about, it would be that the art doesn't have the unified feel that the other three books had. Rick Magyar pencils one of the books and there are a slew of inkers. Also, the mullet is back.
It's amazing what Dennis O'Neil and Denys Cowan have done with The Question in 24 issues, taking him from being a Charlton character with only a few appearances under his hat to the headliner of DC's mature readers line. The fourth volume of The Question is the best I've read so far. Dennis O'Neil definitely wasn't afraid to shake things up. Five out of five stars.

O'Neil is sometimes a little on-the-nose, and a little preachy, in his approach, but overall, I continue to be stunned at how good this book is, and how much it lives up to all of its hype.
It's a dark book that's unafraid to do dark things, have quirky and at least mildly disturbing characters and Hub City feels like a place as much as James Robinson's Opal City did in Starman a decade or so later.
