I never much liked Shodo but she was pretty great here.

So this is a few different stories but the main one, first one, hunt for the red dragon is probably the strongest. When Shodo is being hunted Oliver decides to help out of the kindness of his heart. Also because she and him did it before and she has his kid. Anyway this is almost like battle royale in sense but it's Oliver and Shodo must work together to survive. The next few stories focus on bums in the street and Oliver working with them, a murder mystery, and then a wild jungle cat gets loose in the city and Oliver must help capture or kill it.

This was overall enjoyable collection of stories. The best parts are Dinah and Oliver's relationship and how real it feels. In general Grell's work feels very realistic and I appreciate it in a time when everything is superheroish. The art grew on me a lot and now I love it. I think some of it is a bit heavy handed but for the time (early 90's I believe) it's really well told.

A 4 out of 5.
