Event Leviathan #3 (of 6)

   
    Apologies for the lack of posts in recent weeks - your pal Chuck has been swamped by some projects over in the real world - but those have been wrapped up for now, so hopefully I'll be able to post with greater frequency.

   Thanks for your patience! Now, a review:

   I've really been enjoying this series from the creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev. 

   Event Leviathan manages to be a pretty darn good mystery: who is Leviathan and why (and how) has he / she / it apparently destroyed all the covert operations in the world? 

   It's also a darned good event series, as it teams up the DC Universe's top detectives (and several of my favorite characters), including Batman, Green Arrow, the Question, Manhunter (the really good one), Robin and... Plastic Man? 

   Wait... since when is Plastic Man a detective? Is Elongated Man still "dead" in the DC Universe?And if so, why?

   I digress. 

   The issue starts with a wild (if somewhat implausible) fight between the detectives and their top suspect, and then launches into some even juicer territory. 

   To talk about it too much would take away the fun, but it's a cracking good tale that just keeps building with each issue.

   Highly recommended!
