Ha, this is interesting. I’m currently reading Deathwish by Brian Garfield. It would tie into this very well. But not in the despairing kind of way. There was still hope back in the 70’s 😀
Anyway, Deathwish is about a man who takes the law into his own hands, but he doesn’t descend into the cesspit of evil. This sounds like the otherside of that coin. And that is what I found interesting…
So, he’s some kind of vigilante who doesn’t cross that line to get things done. There’s definitely a rational reasoning that helps a person do things right but when venturing in extreme circumstances (i.e. the whole wife getting raped and aggressor not getting caught), some things are so much harder to see and understand for that person.
Hm, sounds interesting but man – creepy facial expressions, it’s either going to add to the grimey, dark feeling or just be plain unsettling?
Have you read any of Ed Brubaker’s ‘Criminal’ series? I think that’s pretty much the perfect crime comic and the art by Sean Phillips just makes it even better. Great review my friend!
I’d vote for a bit unsettling hahah But yes, I do want to give Criminal a shot but I’m trying to get a pretty edition of it, at a good price 😂 The last Brubaker + Phillips I read was amazing so I can only imagine how good Criminal is!
There’s a new ongoing for Criminal which I’m enjoying and I’ve since picked up the previous runs in a digital sale, so looking forward to diving in. Love Brubaker’s work generally, his Captain America was phenomenal and his Image series The Fade Out and Velvet are superb.

Well that’s exactly what I thought when I saw your “exhibit” that the tones did match the topic and mood of the story!

Right? I love crime noir stories with darker tones to them. It’s just so appeasing for the soul! 😂

The story sounds interesting, too bad if it’s too simple to stand out! 😯 I do like the colours that are used for the artwork! Great review, Lashaan! 😊
