The Devil's Business by Ed Brubaker
4.0

Just as crazy as volume 1 but a little easier to follow this time.

Nicolas Nash is in modern time, or least current time for the whole story, and he's under this weird spell of sorts that makes him HAVE to find out who this Josephine really is. So this time instead of the 50's we head to the 70's. With more actors, bigger cults, scary vicious people, and a lot of death and betrayal, you have another crime story with supernatural twist.

Good: I found this era more interesting and honestly better than the last book. This time we have actual characters I cared about what happened to them and the shocks and twist actually hit home this time. The pacing of the story is also easier to follow and more interesting this time around. The art, as always, is amazing.

Bad: The main storyline with Nicolas at times feels disconnected and not as interesting as the storylines of Josephine.

Overall, another solid volume in the series. While not amazing it's still really good. A 3.5 out of 5 but I'll bump it to a 4.
