Scene of the Crime: A Little Piece of Goodnight by Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, Michael Lark

3.0

Stu recommended I give this a try given my out-of-character propensity for enjoying police procedurals in comics form. It was good, but coming right after Fell wasn't going to do it any favours. The ins and outs of plot felt a little too loose, and I didn't really click with Herriman as a character. I was engaged throughout, but I felt like I was being led through a muddle of erroneous scenarios by the nose, through false confrontation after false confrontation, only to arrive at the disturbing conclusion that purposefully withheld any kind of catharsis. And that's fine -- it's an artistic choice that I respect -- but I just kept wanting to experience the storytelling differently.
