Gcpd: The Blue Wall by John Ridley
4.0

Still trying to decide where I would rate this as I'm writing it.

You have Renee as the main lead but really it's about 3 up and coming cops. All 3 after graduating go to their own departments and each one comes back with a crushing result to what they thought it would be. Especially one going off the very very deep end.

This story is not a easy one to take in. In vain of something like Gotham Central, this is a story of people getting screwed over, attacked for the skin color, and used as propaganda. It's a nasty look at the real world reflecting in a comicbook setting.

It take s abit to get going, and the first half was solid but not great but by the second half I had to know how it'll end up. And it was brutal to read.

A 3.5 but I'll bump it to a 4 for here.
