This was an entertaining read. I'm a little disappointed that it's no longer available. To be honest, I don't even remember downloading it (it was so long ago), but I'm glad I did.
So, right off the bat, the artwork of this book is interesting. It's a black and white comic and the drawings are cartoonish in a ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit” kind of way, meaning it is very silly, slapstick, and cartoonish while also being mature, violent, and even gory (all in black and white).
This is not a great phenomenal story for the ages, but it's entertaining. When I say that this story is entertaining, I mean that it's very simple. You don't have to think too hard about it. It has attributes such as violence, humor, sarcasm, and that whole Noir feel going for it.
This is a very quick and light read. I feel kind of bad that I didn't have the whole series; I only had the first issue. If I could ever come across the rest of the series I would like to finish it just to see what happens. This isn't a story that I'm going to lay up nights thinking about, but I am glad I read it.
Recommended to adult comic book fans who like to read something a little different or outside of the box from time to time.
