Rimango interessata, sebbene la narrazione sia leggermente caotica, voglio aspettare di proseguire nella narrazione per capire se sia voluta o meno, per adesso mi godo l'atmosfera noir e acquerellata che caratterizza Choker, vedendo dove andrà a finire.

Its very hard to follow what the hell is going on in this series, worse in this second issue than number one. There are a lot of great one liners quipped by various characters at each other but unfortunately a lot of them feel forced and ill timed. The overall feel is Seven meets True Blood meets some sort of weird bad acid trip, and that sounds a lot better seeing that on paper than it actually is. So far at least.
