Dash #5 &#; Return of the Gay Detective

After a three-year hiatus, I was curious to see how this supernatural noir mystery picked up.

Smartly, writer Dave Ebersole begins the issue with a &#;story so far&#; section that fits nicely into the hardboiled PI&#;s tendency to monologue, in keeping with the genre, while bringing the forgetful reader up to speed with the current case. After a reminder that Dash was drummed off the police force for being gay, there&#;s a resurrected Egyptian mummy to stop and a mystical artifact to uncover.

Also appealing is how much of this issue is a flashback to Dash&#;s dead lover (a thief and con artist). That tragedy is also genre-authentic, but that kind of relationship focus &#; how his sexuality brands him in s LA &#; is what sets Dash apart from the typical Marlowe-wannabe. And it provides some necessary emotional heft to what would otherwise be chasing a monster around town.

    Watson goes to Sherlock for help, but he ends up having to exist with him as his assistant in order to get his own case solved.

    A warning for this one (slight spoilers); most transmisogynist anime I verb ever seen. The reveal at the end of the first half is sickening, and it gets brought up in the 2nd half occasionally. Bring your own morals into this one folks. Why still rec it? 2nd half is really nice, but requires knowledge of the 1st half&#;s ending, unfortunately.
