Read in April 2014.
Wow! It doesn't get much better than this! Barry Reese knows how to write New Pulp. This edition of Lazarus Gray was excellent.
There were only two stories in this volume, but they were both dynamite. First, Lazarus Gray and his team link up with Thunder Jim Wade and his pals for a globetrotting battle with "Leviathan". Of course, the action didn't stop the whole time and Barry brought another great "old pulp" character into the Reeseverse - Thunder Jim Wade - and brought him in with a bang.
Then, in the second story, Barry wraps up a story line he's been developing since Volume 2 by having Lazarus and company tangle with Doctor Satan and Satan's Circus. Other great Reeseverse characters are back here, including the Darkling, Eidolon, and Abigail Cross. Again, this story was action-packed and the fun didn't stop until the end. And was I sad to see it end!
I know Barry has finished Volume 5 of this series. I hope Pro Se Press has the smarts to get it published soon. And I hope you have the smarts to start reading Barry Reese and all his New Pulp goodness.
