Editorial Reviews

Review

Mature graphic novel fans will be captivated by the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation series from IDW Publishing, originally presented as individual issues and now gathered into easy-to-circulate GN paperbacks. Written by Max Allan Collins with art by Gabriel Rodriguez and Ashley Wood, Serial launches the sequence with a story about a brutal killer who isterrorizing Las Vegas. The pressure to stop the murderers becomes more intense when Gil reveals that the perp is copycatting the crimes of Jack the Ripper. With razor-sharp dialogue, myriad plot twists, and strong characterizations, this book mirrors the show s careful pacing and compelling storytelling. Shifting perspectives, neon colors, and starkly realistic images supplemented by more abstract scenes recreating the crimes make the artwork effective. Follow this one up with the other volumes in the series: Bad Rap, Demon House, Dominos, Secret Identity, Dying in the Gutters (all 2008). - Joy Fleishhacker --School Library Journal
