This new take on Grifter was not what I was expecting. I had seen something describing him as a superhero version of Sawyer from Lost. I can definitely see that in this book. Too bad that's not what my old Grifter was. Don't get me wrong, it's a good suspense story. A little more Jason Bourne than James Bond. The art is decent. It just didn't fit the take on the character to me. DC has said they're not totally redoing anything, yet this would contradict that statement. Maybe it's because the Wildstorm Universe as a whole had become irrelevant in the past couple years. I just don't see this title reinvigorating those characters like Stormwatch potentially can. A bit disappointing all around.
