100 Days of Comics, Day 52

I am going to keep is short and sweet tonight as it has been an eventful day for the wife and I. We found out what the sex of our baby is. Pretty exciting stuff. That being said I choose to keep the reading down to a one shot story from the Batman: No Man's Land arc. Spiritual Currency by Devin K. Grayson and art by Dale Eaglesham tells the story a story about Dr. Leslie Thompkins and what it is like to be a doctor in a crisis as big as "no man's land".

Getting right to the point, Spiritual Currency is defiantly WORTH YOU TIME. It is one of those Batman stories that makes you think about some pretty heavy subject matter. In this case that subject matter is how important is all human life, not just the lives of those who are good, but also of those who have done terrible things? Grayson focuses the story on Zsasz, a man who kills because it is the only thing that makes him feel alive. He is being treated by Dr. Thompkins despite the fact he has killed hundreds of people. This of course does not sit well with several cast members including Batman. It is a good read and give you something to think about. I defiantly recommend giving it a read.
