This is a graphic novel that tries too hard, long story short. It's the last night at a popular New York nightclub, and a bunch of different stories converge at this nightclub to somewhat telegraphed but otherwise surprising results.
It wasn't terrible by any means. It's very fast paced and gets the job done for what it is, but it's almost trying to be shocking for the sake of being shocking, and I'm not sure any of it would really hit the intended audience that way.
I expected more from it, I guess, and it was an enjoyable romp overall, but nothing special.

Attempting to explain the plot here wouldn't do it justice. It all revolves around a special night at a club in New York. The key players are two models/contract killers, a perverted youtuber, and a late night TV host who dresses up in a koala suit to anonymously feed his sex addiction.
The secondary story follows three under age New Jersey kids who want to go to Forgetless to fulfill their young dreams.
A hilarious, exciting, sometimes vile, and always insightful look at what the city can do to a person.

Nobody makes me enjoy spending time with despicable characters more than Nick Spencer! I wouldn't want to meet any of these characters in real life, but they are so much fun to watch from a safe distance. As one example, one of the characters would consider stabbing someone 60 times to be less of an ethical problem than eating one's roommates oreos.
Not my favorite of his works, but at least this time the team actually finishes a story! (Unlike "Morning Glories", or "Bedlam", for which we may never get the concluding sections. Grrrrr.) Actually this short book is even two separate stories in one volume.
Trigger warning: A blow-up doll is raped. Also the Empire State Building is raped. Actually, there's a lot of rape of inanimate objects.
