I enjoyed volume 1 of this series when it came out. Time to dive in for more, this time covering issues 6 through 10 of the series plus the 2025 Valentine's Day Special.
This one was very engaging as Tracy hunts down the Blank, a person who has taken it upon themself to judge criminals with a brutal form of justice- death by repeated stabbings. I had my suspicions on who was behind that white mask (and, as a writer, I was pleased to know my hunch was right on the money). The story has all those classic crime noir elements we come to expect from this series. The writing is solid and the art is fantastic. The team is really delivering on bringing this classic comic franchise to a whole new audience.
The two Valentine's tales were fun. The one on the film set reminded me of golden age Batman (very fitting of the noir elements). The second one had some nice newsprint-like artwork that harkened back to the comic strips I remember reading as a kid in the 70's.

I can't overstate how much I love that this series exists...if Dick Tracy has no fans then that means I'm dead

Review is for the first three volumes read consecutively:
It has the Dick Tracy feel down pat, from The City, to the Rogues Gallery, to the dialogue. Dick himself just looks...off? He's neither the strong-jawed newspaper hero nor the anti-typecast movie lead. He looks soft and unformed, two things the lead should never be.
The only other major criticism is the lack of transitions or expositive boxes, stylistically this makes for an easy read, but it always feels like some pages are missing - like you missed a day or two of the print strip back when there was no way to catch up.

Looks like this wasn't the last issue after all! A pretty good wrap up to the mystery killer storyline. Though I'm amazed Dick and his team didn't see this one under their noses. But if they did, that wouldn't make for a fun crime mystery, now would it?

The mystery in this volume was captivating and the characters were all portrayed well. I enjoyed this even more than volume 1.
