dark funny tense

This was a quick, clever caper story with the added depth of a relationship that isn't what it seems at first.

The comic is interesting, fast to read and its not bad, a little bit predictable, yet enjoyable.

This is a heart warming graphic novel that features a young mother and her son on the run from the police after a huge heist *and* nudity and violence. And I just really, really liked it. de Radiguès uses a simple cartoony style to communicate revenge, hope, humor, and change, and his depictions of Eugene (the pre-teen boy) are just staggering at times. He shows Eugene as a son who is all in on whatever his mother is planning, even if it's dangerous, and there are panels showing him face on that just scream innocence. At the same time, de Radiguès never shies away from the sex and gunplay that are part of May's (the mother's) world. It's not a mixture that should work, and yet it does wonderfully.
