Another excellent installment in the _Sin City_ series. This novel again features Dwight, this time following the events after he has his new face and he's trying to stay out of trouble. Too bad trouble can't seem to leave him alone. What starts as a simply defense of his new girl when he crazy ex shows up with some friends ends in a bloodbath with the possibility of war looming for the characters that we've come to love from previous books. This section was personally my favorite part of the film, so I can easily see how the novel was just as wonderful. A very faithful adaptation that fans of the film and fans of the genre will easily appreciate.

Getting tired of this series. The characters are interchangeable: muscular tough guy, femme fatale, blah blah blah. The art almost makes this series worthwhile. Almost.

The movie did a far better job conveying the emotions involved in this tale: the tension over the seemingly inevitable war, the kidnappings, the murder attempts.

ok i just randomly read this and it is apparently number 3, so i am probably missing a lot of info.
-miho is a bad bitch
-i felt full of suspense and really liked it, satisfying fight scenes
-what is the deal with the swastikas tho? i am confusion. they are going the hindu religious direction and not the nazi direction, and she has star of david and crosses too, but i am just wondering what the religious iconography is for

Upon re-reading this I still thing this one is the weakest of the first three volumes that I've read. But Deadly Little Miho is awsome!
