Not since From Hell have I read a graphic novel that has more clearly done its conspiracy homework.
Whether it has any bearing on the truth or not, this does connect a few controversial dots, Marilyn Munroe's suicide and JFK's assassination in particular, in a thrilling way.
I'm not sure if it's simply because it's black and white but I felt that the artwork took a backseat to the words which is rare in graphic novels and not necessarily in a good way. I found myself slowing down around the pages of pure text background information about the key players and 'confirmed' detail.
Also the main characters were Raven Inc, a pre-existing group of fact finders that I had never heard of prior to reading this. Their individual characters did not stand out in the contentious narrative which I suppose can be a boon as well as a disappointment.
Nevertheless I enjoyed this read. It certainly has me wondering exactly where Munroe's red diaries ended up...

This was an interesting take on some of the various conspiracy theories about Marilyn and the Kennedys. While the story begins strong, it begins to resemble the conspiracy theories it explores: sprawling, all encompassing, yet ending somewhere in the middle.

Enjoyable take on the deaths of Marilyn and JFK. A fun read for conspiracy buffs, though it won't add anything new to what's already known or offer any new theories.

This graphic novel started our really well. But, it really seemed to end abruptly.
