This issue introduces the Roach. He's a character that parodies what happens to be hot in comics at the time. So his identity shifts as time progresses. I think his character is hilarious. He becomes one of the brightest spots in High Society.
He's more of a basic kook here. He's just a merchant that turned into the Cockroach when he falls asleep. Cerebus finds a giant stash of gold and tricks the Roach into helping him take a portion of it. Cerebus gets chased by guards and thinks there has to be an easier way to earn money as the issue comes to a close.
This was another solid issue. The Cockroach was weird and memorable and Cerebus' revival pastor impersonation was pretty funny. The Cockroach felt mostly like a Batman satire in this issue. He'll move on to Moon Knight in a short while.
Until next time!
