First things first : this cover art is stunning. Philip Tan's work on this book has been nothing short of spectacular. As a true comic geek I had to make a stand when Final Crisis came out that I would be sticking to a complete collection of the "sliver covers" (except for FC #1 which I bought both, c'mon it's Hal Jordan). When I saw the first Revelations cover of the Spectre, I was sold on Tan's beautiful work.
OK, enough judging a book by it's cover.
This story has really grown on me. I was a little disappointed at the beginning of the quick deaths of Dr. Light and Effigy, not that I cared too much about these characters but I just thought it was a bit dull. The whole Cain storyline though has really interested me, especially with tying in Vandal Savage who has always been a favorite of mine and I've always thought of him as underused.
I am also enjoying the Spirit of Mercy character to balance the Spectre and her confrontation about her own killers. She basically calls out the Spectre on why he's not smiting them and when she stands up herself, she can't do it.
Cain is played VERY well and VERY evil. His rant near the end is great writing : I created violence! I birthed murder!!
My one issue with the story (and not a big one at that) is that this does not have to be a Final Crisis tie-in. The Anti-Life infected people seem tacked on and I think a story about Cain and the Spectre would have made a great arc for a stand alone Spectre mini-series. I may be proven wrong and Cain and the Spear of Destiny may hold some precious answers about the whole Final Crisis story that Morrison is weaving but until then I'll just keep enjoying all of the Crisis tie-ins.
Art: 5 - Excellent
The Crime Bible is tied directly into whatever scheme Darkseid and Libra are hatching.
