4. Blue Devil: A Night in the Life

Writer: Bill Willingham
Artist: Steve Scott

After the last issue, I can safely say this series has firmly landed at"¦okay. It's okay. They're okay.

This issue spotlights Blue Devil as he attempts to get to a Shadowpact meeting, only to be distracted by some monster shenanigans.

The art is even better in this issue. I like Cory Walker, but Steve Scott's work is cleaner and more uniform. He’s doing a bit of the DC house style from that time, but it still looks good.

The first few pages are good for character development, but the rest of the issue really isn't. We get no real sense of what Blue Devil's life is like, because most of the issue is devoted to his fight with those two completely forgettable monsters. I'm a big Blue Devil guy, but I don't really feel his voice here. Most of Willingham's characters speak in writer-voice. They say things that a character needs to say, but there’s nothing unique that sets them apart. Pick any line from any issue so far, and there's almost zero chance that you'll be able to figure out who said it.
