Overall, I thought this was a pretty big disappointment. The storyline was alright I guess, but Ive seen too many times before. None of the characters were memorable, likeable, or all that interesting. It was just a lot of senseless violence that didn't seem to really have a purpose in the end.



The biggest let down here was the artwork - both the penciling and coloring. Based on the other reviews, I seem to be alone here. Half of the time I could barely tell what I was looking at. The characters were all drawn unnecessarily grotesque. There were also a few too many full paged panels, and I felt that it took away from the effectiveness of using a full page.



By far, this is my least favorite of Frank Miller's work.
