Written by Jeph Loeb Art by Chris Bachalo & Art Thibert Cover by Chris Bachalo The moody miniseries by award-winning writer Jeph Loeb (BATMAN: HUSH, Hulk, Ultimatum) with art by Chris Bachalo (DEATH: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING) and Art Thibert (TRINITY) is available once more in this new printing of a Vertigo classic, featuring a section of sketches by Bachalo. The setting is Manhattan, where the mysterious Amanda Collins moves through the troubled lives of ordinary people armed with little more than a blank white business card and a strange, supernatural presence. She's giving them the chance to change their lives, but the choice they make will depend entirely on the forces that already exist in their hearts. Amanda herself is a mesmerizing presence and, as she works modern magic with the help of a colorful - if not entirely loyal - coterie of followers, another side of her begins to emerge: one that is troubled, powerful and possibly centuries old. At the crossroads of the supernatural and the very real, this book spins bold, provocative tales of sin, magic and redemption. Advance-solicited; on sale April 1 - 160 pg, FC, $19.99 US - MATURE READERS… (more)

Enjoyed this quite a lot actually, clever little story jumping between times and lives, with enough threads to keep the interest going. Some nice on-the-fence morality about free will and how much we should intervene in people's lives, etc. ( )

I liked this; not what I was expecting at all. Admittedly there were two parts where things went a bit wonky and I had a hard time following the story, but the rest of it came together quite nicely, if a bit sadly. ( )
