And Then I Read: DOCTOR FATE #12

I sometimes feel there are few satisfying endings in comics these days, but writer Paul Levitz does a good job wrapping up the major story threads of his second arc here. Khalid has faced all kinds of deadly trouble as the new Doctor Fate, but in his regular life he’s been absent from med school so much, he’s about to be expelled. This is one situation his new powers can’t help much with…or so it seems until the man conducting the hearing on Khalid has a sudden heart attack! Can Doctor Fate recapture the escaping soul? Can Khalid’s medical training help? Great story and wonderful art, as always. And I’m happy to say that the title will continue!
