Crime and Punishment

This has been going around, but I just wanted to comment that it's the most alarmingly otaku thing I've seen all month, in the William Gibson sense of the word. A Batman / Dostoyevsky mashup where someone absolutely nailed the circa-1940 American comics art and layout style. Holy smokes.

I love the way it maintains the immeasureably incoherent plotline of Dostoyevsky's original while otherwise sticking to strict comic conventions (one of which is that the story generally has to make some small kind of sense.)
