Reviewer Comments:
I've reviewed the DGTD issues 1 & 2 so far and as I've said before, I'm a fan of Burns' previous work on the title and this issue is no different. Burns has the ability to get you into the story on this title and make you feel you're a part of the title. The plot of the story takes twists and turns and makes you think, "Shit, I should've seen that coming!".
Recap, for folks not following the title. Alan Sirois is a private investigator and he's currently been hired to solve a mystery on a mystery cruise ship by some rich guy. Oh by the way, did I mention Sirois is a little mentally disturbed? Yeah, he seriously thinks his dummy ventrilquist puppet Bloomberg, is alive and speaks. Alan unknowingly is the one making Bloomberg speak... I think... well, unless this plot takes an even crazier leap and we find out Bloomberg actually is doing his own talking, but I don't see that happening. But then again, Burns' mystery storyline keeps fooling me so you never know.
In this issue, we find Alan and Bloomberg still trying to figure out what the heck is going on on this mystery ship. People are apparently really dying in this entertainment mystery murder and it seems there is a real life homicidal maniac running rampant on the ship. People who are supposed to be "fake dead", are really dead, people who we think are really dead are only "fake dead", or is anyone really dead at all? This mystery has still got me guessing!
