Priest is back! And writing one of the top DC Rebirth books! 
 This is the same Priest who wrote Complete Quantum and Woody Classic Omnibus and Black Panther: The Client, and he's telling his tale in the same 'ole way, with staccato scenes, real people, buddy road trips, and of course scene captions. 
 He goes a bit overboard in the first few issues, mixing his time periods in a way that's pretty confusing. Not a first for Priest. But we still get some interesting detail. And then the story really levels out with Rose and Slade on the road, and that's a section of the book with great interactions! 
 All through this, Slade is devious and manipulative, something that we only get in his best appearances. 
 Overall, this book is a joy, and tending more toward 4.5 stars than 4.
