8. Rag Time

Writer: Bill Willingham
Artist: Shawn McManus

Hey, another character focus piece. This time, it A: actually happens chronologically after the previous issue, and B: focuses on Ragman.

Artist Shawn McManus is great in this specific issue, and his style matches the story it tells. As for the plot…After  The Congregation beats up and blinds Ragman, Nightshade, and Blue Devil, Ragman ventures into his own subconscious. There, he meets one of the unfortunate souls who make up his rag suit. They discuss his powers and how they work, and then the soul helps Ragman unblind himself. Ragman beats up The Congregation, and Madame Xanadu helps him free the other two Shadowpact-ers from their blindness. As a reward for his help, the soul is freed from Ragman’s suit and ascends to DC Universe Heaven.

Again, this is a little better than the last couple of issues, mostly because we get to know Ragman a little bit. He's the descendant of Jewish Immigrants who had to take up the family tradition of dressing up in a rag suit and fighting crime. Good legacy. All my parents handed down to me was a pretty good Chili recipe.
