DC Universe Presents #9

I enjoyed this issue much more than I thought I would. After the disappointment that was the Challengers of the Unknown I figured that Vandal Savage would be the story that stopped me reading. I was wrong.

Things I liked: I enjoy Vandal Savage in Demon Knights but I didn't think they'd be able to carry the same feeling here. I was right. What they have done is keep the self-assuredness that Savage is known for and add a dash of crazy. They must think something is up with him because he's in Belle Reve, but they don't think he's what he says he is.

Things I didn't like: there's a "Silence of the Lambs" vibe here that I'm not enjoying. I think there were other ways of telling the story without ripping off the plot of a movie.
