No es tan deslumbrante como la primera parte pero el talento de MIller sigue siendo insuestionable.

Si bien no es tan consistentemente bueno como el primer tomo, sigue siendo excelente tanto narrativa como gráficamente.

Al principio se me hizo un poco pesado/repetitivo por leer toda la colección de golpe (aunque quizás es q las historias lo eran, pero no lo sentí así); pese a todo el final de Ida y Vuelta al Infierno es la hostia

Si es verdad que la fuerza de las historias disminuye un poco con respecto al primer volumen, sigue siendo fantástico.

Todo lo bueno está en el Vol. 1. Lo del vol. 2 podría no existir que no suma nada.

Za nijansu slabije price u odnosu na prvu kompilaciju ali i dalje u samom vrhu devete umetnosti.

The fact that you're checking out this big-ticket item means you are no doubt familiar with Frank Miller's crime noir masterpiece, so I won't bother explaining what the basic stories are all about. You're probably here trying to decide whether this bookshelf item is worth the $100+ price tag, or whether it is time to upgrade your Sin City collection. The answer is an overwhelming YES.
In this massive collection you get the (to date) final three Sin City graphic novels (Family Values, Booze, Broads and Bullets, and Hell and Back) plus the Art of Sin City collection housed in a black slipcase with the Sin City logo in red foil. The volumes presented here are in hardcover format in a larger than normal size. Think of the DC Absolute hardcover series; these books are just slightly smaller than that format. As if the extra large presentation weren't enough, the page stock has been significantly upgraded. The pages are as thick as the typical Sin City cover stock, and ultra-glossy, which is ideally suited for Miller's dynamic black and white artwork. Each page becomes fine art. I was extremely pleased with my original Sin City hardcovers and paperbacks, but they just pale in comparison to the quality of this package. I'll take a star off just because the material collected in this set isn't as impressive as the first Sin City Library collection, but this really is the ultimate Sin City reading experience.
My only complaint, and it is minor, is that there isn't anything in the way of "bonus material." At the very least, I was hoping for some kind of introduction to each volume by Miller. But like I said, it's a minor gripe.
With its high price tag, the Sin City Library is not for everyone. It is however, a must-have for true Sin City aficionados, and makes an impressive addition to the comic fan's bookshelf.

One of the crown jewels of my collection.
If you know anyone who's a fan of this series, give them this. Yes, the $150+ price tag is a bit much, but the quality is worth every penny. This set is the second of two "archival" editions, and includes the last two major stories from the original run, "Family Values" and "To Hell and Back", along with a set of short stories and one hell of an artbook that's practically worth the price alone.
This was the point where Frank Miller started getting a bit... eccentric with his work, and these stories started to feature more outlandish characters and bizarre images (Miko rollerblading with a samurai sword is the one image I still take away from this set, alongside the cover to the artbook). That said, the art is incredible and the full-spread oversized format works very well, with splashes of colour (and blood) littered throughout its pages.
It's a collector's set through and through, and it's one I'm proud to showcase in my bookshelf. Definitely recommended for completionists.

If you liked the first volume, this is more of the same beautiful over-sized art. Several of these stories have splashes of color though. Color used very sparingly and very well.
Again, beautiful - brilliant. And again, "mature readers".

Porque contiene Ida y vuelta al Infierno que es un locurón porque si no.... historias un poco reguleras.
