New World
No. 1 (cover dates August, 2006- March, 2007)
Writer:

This
is a decent modernization of The Creeper. Steve Niles pours on the
macabre while keeping an air of lightheartedness that makes this such
a fun read. Batman and the Joker feature prominently in the
storyline, and they even tie The Joker in to The Creeper's origin.
Not sure if I am crazy about that angle, as I really enjoyed Steve
Ditko's original version of the character from the '60s. Other than
that, everything was fine. Justiniano's artwork was a happy marriage
of Silver Age DC and modern comic book art.
The OCD zone- This has a decent weight coated stock paper and laminated cardstock cover.
