"Actually, today started last week," begins shell-shocked "Twitch" Williams. Crime noir doesn't get much better than this, with deadly weirdness plus two gritty, good-guy gumshoes: rotund, belligerent Sam Burke and scrawny, wire-haired Twitch. A bizarre menace is slaughtering New York mobsters, leaving bioengineered body parts as a calling card. Other mobsters and would-be informers fall to faceless white-coat thugs who infect their prey with a two-minutes-to-death influenza. With most cops on the take from the enemy, it comes down to our duo, the FBI, and the seen-it-all woman coroner to cooperate against the mysterious threat. The art is stunning: a grim, greenish ballet of action and murder. This volume collects the Udaku story arc of Sam and Twitch and ends with an unrelated story; an extra shows the making of the comic. With occasionally sexual situations, minor nudity, and industrial-strength cursing, this is for adults and older teens.-M.C. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
