| Doctor Pieter
Cross was a scientific genius and surgeon, who used his great wealth and
talent to help those who fell through the cracks of society, providing
aid for the homeless, clean needles for abusers and condoms for prostitutes.
He was known to his friends and foes alike as "The Midnight Doctor". This
was until a terrible accident took away his sight and forced him to take
on a new identity to protect his city from those that would prey upon it. |

| It's a premise
that is very reminiscent of the Mystery Men (Superheroes) of the 30's and
40's such as The Shadow or The Batman and of course the original hero who
this character assumed the name of, Doctor Mid-Nite. That's where the similarities
end. This is an thrilling and engrossing tale written by Matt Wagner (Mage,
Grendel, Sandman Mystery Theatre) and fully painted by John K Snyder III
(Grendel).
The Characterisation of the
eponymous Hero and supporting cast is excellent - Everyone is described
perfectly and an Empathic connection is created immediately - You feel
for the characters, you worry when they are in danger and you celebrate
when they are successful in their endeavours. Wagner's story can only be
described as Fantastic and Snyder's artwork, while not as easy on the eyes
as Alex Ross' painted work or Stephen Sadowski's pencils, creates a dark
and shadowy atmosphere and adds to the feel of Wagner's tale.
The popular miniseries written
by Matt Wagner (Mage, SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE) with vividly painted art
by John K. Snyder, III (Grendel), DOCTOR MID-NITE takes place in the city
of Portsmouth, where modern-day Renaissance man Cross gets too close to
the shadowy source behind a powerful and destructive super-steroid. One
harrowing "accident" later, Cross has been stricken blind, his crusade
to clean up the streets seemingly over. But then he makes an amazing discovery.
Blind in normal amounts of light, the accident has left him with an unexpected
gift: He can see perfectly in the dark! Focusing his myriad talents against
evil, this new Doctor Mid-Nite revives the legacy of a classic DC character
in a stylish way, healing the ills of a modern world that desperately needs
his care. |
