He does have a wonderful range.
I started with his Henry Thompson trilogy and they got me hooked. Never read any of his comic books.
I loved Joe Pitt's noir detective/vampire mash-up. I think Joe could have side stepped a few more beatings but he must be Charlie's favorite punching bag.
The "Shotgun Rule" made me think, "if Stephen King wrote straight crime."
"The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death" was wonderfully bent and funny at the same time.
"Sleepless" was nicely bleak near-future SF. Somewhat like Skinner in that it took me some time to catch up with the characters and what's going on. A bit more relentlessly dark though until, perhaps, the very end. This story's expert-killer reminds me a little of Skinner but this story is more about the policeman with morals as rigid as a samurai.
