Criminal Macabre: My Demon Baby

Writer: Steve Niles
Artist: Nick Stakal, more
If you read all our comic book reviews, then you might remember how I highly praised Steve Niles for creating such a dope character in Cal McDonald. I've only read the Two Red Eyes and My Demon Baby story arcs but as far as supernatural detectives go, he's number one in my books. In issue three of My Demon Baby, Cal and Mo'Lock go undercover and sneak into Erik Bocha's Satanic cult party. Their mission is to save the baby girl by all means necessary. Things go all wrong when a zombified Templar Knight shows up to kill the baby and anyone in his way. Why is everyone after the baby? Oh, because she's Satan's daughter!! Issue four is the big climatic finale that ties everything up in a surprising fashion. It also gives you a hint at what might be in store for Cal in the next series. Until then I'm gonna have to finish reading the Criminal Macabre novel that recently came out called The Complete Cal McDonald Stories.
