This is more I like it. Dwight was bad ass here. Had his shit together. He was bat shit crazy in A Dame To Kill For, running around like a mad man. I mean he still was crazy, but his inner demons didn't habe him quite on edge.

An improvement on the last volume. Dwight's still a non-entity to me, the thinnest smear of character over humanoid form, but the rest of it's pretty enjoyable. The artwork remains excellent. There's some fantastic imagery in here. Setting so much of the climactic violence around tar pits and giant sculptured dinosaurs may be batshit crazy, in its way, but it's still so compelling to look at - weird and creepy and awesome.
I also like all the political undercurrents, the state of dodgy détente between the cops and the mob and the hookers of Old Town. That sort of shifting power relationship is much more interesting to me than all the fight scenes (even if they do result from it), especially as some of the elements of those fight scenes are starting to feel a little over-used. ("Deadly little Miho" I'm looking at you.) And the whole Irish mercenary subplot seems equally overdone, the product of a story that's trying to throw too much at a wall to see what sticks.

This one was around the 2.5-3/5 mark.
I didn't hate it but it was definitely not as strong as the first two in the series, the plot seemed all over the place and the art was sometimes very hard to depict. There was still some absolutely beautiful pages though which pushes this to more of a 3 star book.

Not my favorite entry in the series, but it is still entertaining.

The more of these I read, the more ham fisted and misogynist they feel. But I'm gonna finish the set.

Reread from high school. Dwight is a much better hero in this book than the last one. Lots of women kicking ass as well. Dark comic relief thrown in. Great read.

Another good one in the Sin City universe. Lot of action, good story line, even if there not a lot, to not say any, characters in common with the first two volumes.
