1: What a disappointment
I bought this book wanting more of want I got in the first volume of The Crow and all I got was utter disappointment. To make something great you need to spend time with it and none was given to this book. The Crow in this book lacks in so many different areas I dont have enough room to even list them all. The number one lacking area of the Crow is the underdevelopment of his relationship to his loved ones, which helps the reader connect with the crow and want the revenge the crow needs to find peace. In the first Crow book the memories of the love fueled the fire of anger and revenge for Eric, but for Joshua, the new Crow, has none except for the actual killing of his family which happens over a century ago. Oh and have I mentioned the actwork in the book is sub-par in comparision to that of James O'bara. Thank god the third volume has a better story line, more development, but not enough, and the artwork is increasingly improved, but by the same artist. I must say that if I had never read the first volume then this book probably would have scored higher in points with me.

3: Exploring the Crow mythos
What is most impressive about this, and the other three sets of comics about the Crow that Kitchen Sink Press published (just before closing down their comics department) is that they truly explore the Crow mythos in a way City of Angels never did. Each comic explores and expands a different area.In Dead Time Joshua, a native american farmer, is killed, but he doesn't return straight away. In fact, it is 100 years later when he bursts out of the ground. He hunts down the killers who, reincarnated, nevertheless start again on their life of crime. He gives them a chance to repent, and they do not. Now the question to ask is this - had they not been evil men, just stupid, and had returned, led a different life, been good citizens and all of that, would Joshua have come back?

4: Tragic and beautiful
O'barr does it again. This book has it all- beautiful art and poetry (not to mention the storyline). If you loved the original crow, you'll love this. Nuff said.

5: This book is a real page turner from beggining to end.
Well,I am a die hard crow fan.I watch the show ,saw the movie , and read this graphic novel. I think that the story line is great (I am emersed in the story line of anything crow related),However , if you saw the movie , this is great graphic novel for the reason that it has the cool crow story line working for it , but o'barr puts it in new words.Fantastic.A must have for all crow fans.
