Mad Cave Studios provided an early galley for review.

I used to read the classic newspaper strips of Dick Tracy in the 1970's as a kid. I always enjoyed his outlandish rogues gallery and exciting adventures. So, this new series was right up my alley. Plus, I am very familiar with Segura's writing from other books and such; I knew this character was in good hands.

This first story opens in a very powerful fashion that sets the tone for this gritty reboot. This seems to be set very early in Tracy's time with the force, including his first meeting with Tess Trueheart. One needs no previous knowledge of the characters or the strip to enjoy this one. The art and the dialogue give it that perfect late 1940's vibe.

And if you are a fan of the rogues, they are here: Flattop, Mumbles, Itchy, Pruneface and more. The story delivers well on that whole nostalgia factor.

I am definitely looking forward to more from this team on this series.
