CBR Review: Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead #2

I recently reviewed Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead #2 and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Even more impressive is Pugh’s writing as he handles the pacing and dialogue deftly. This issue is a bit slower than the first, but that slowness is made up for with a greater focus on the book’s protagonist, Alice Hotwire, a police exorcist. Last issue introduced the concept that, at some point in the future, ghosts, or as they’re called here, blue lights, will manifest themselves until dampening technology keeps them at bay — at least in wealthy areas. Now, though, the blue lights are appearing within dampening fields and Alice needs to figure out why."

CBR Review: Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead #1

I recently reviewed Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "The series follows Alice Hotwire, a police officer who specializes in dealing with Blue-Lights that muster up enough energy to cause trouble for the living. The issue opens mid-exorcism as the spirit of a dead child tries to kill its still-living family in order to reunite them all. While it seems routine enough, normal procedures don’t solve the problem and, later, Hotwire learns that the building, although in a poor area, is within the boundaries of a disruptor tower. Something it making Blue-Lights turn up where they shouldn’t and she’s determined to solve the mystery."
