I dunno, sometimes comics that simply take all the familiar elements from a genre work, and sometimes, they don't. This was just okay, it felt like they couldn't inhabit the genre as authentically as with the pulp stuff (the Criminal series) and I honestly was a bit unclear on the ending, but also ready for it to be over.

I enjoyed this book as I read it, but it did not deliver on all the potential and set-up it had, and the ending just fell flat. Great atmosphere goes far, but it cannot cover up a thin sketch of a plot. (

Different, and that's a good thing. While the ending is not really one in the true sense, the story did stay with me for a few days, so that told me it was indeed a good one :) (
