\"CSI:\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

By Max Allan Collins<\/strong>, Gabriel Rodriguez<\/strong> & Ashley Wood<\/strong> (Titan Books)
\nISBN: 1-84023-799-6<\/p>\n

The real world Sin City of Las Vegas is as much about show biz as it is gambling, so when a hot new Rap star kills a kid, but is himself murdered before he can be arrested, it’s a criminal matter, but is it also all about money and prestige?<\/p>\n

The creative team once again puts the ensemble cast through its paces in an intriguing plot-driven whodunit, rife with twists and turns and, of course a mounting pile of fresh corpses. Fan of the TV show will welcome the cool efficiency of the protagonists, as do I, since it’s a welcome antidote to the overly emotive histrionics prevalent in many comics today.<\/p>\n

Good to see crime comics in such a healthy condition, and this is a sharp argument for more licensed properties going the four-colour route.<\/p>\n
