Whoa, yeah...if any series gonna make you feel depressed after it's going to be a Tom King series. From Omegamen to Vision the dude sure knows how to hit on the feels.

So Chris Henry, a police officer, comes to Babylon to try and start up or fix the policing of the area. When one of his people goes missing and then is killed he decides to investigate. With the help of a local they begin their mission. Two very different men, from very different cultures, team up in almost a buddy cop way but with interesting views on the world. Then it goes into darker territory and backgrounds of each character, including the side cast, and does it nearly flawless.

Good: The story's pacing is perfect. It sucks you in from the start and as you learn more and more about each character, each dark secret, you begin to see them as real people. Not fictional stereotypes but actual real people. I'd bet Tom King based some of these characters off actual people he met over there. The case, investigation, is intriguing from the very start but by the end it truly boils down to a great last few words said by a person who sees the world very differently than us.

Bad: The story is extremely downer and not for everyone. Dialog heavy and more focused on people and their views and ideas then any big shoot up. This is a positive for me, but the darker, more realistic take, isn't for everyone.

Overall this wonderfully drawn, very well written title, deserves all the praise it has gotten. I can't believe it took me so long to read it. A 4 out of 5.
