I'm way pickier about the art than the plot when it comes to graphic novels. I didn't quite follow the plot at first, so when I was done reading it I read a summary online and then reread the book. It's pretty good. I like that the girl is a badass rollerblading assassin.

Almost too easy with Miho

I think this may have been the tightest and most coherent story in the Sin City series that I've read so far. Unfortunately, I found Miller's artwork more distracting than complementary to the story. The usual dark images seemed overly ambiguous on a number of pages.

Short and sweet. If this wasn't part of a series, it wouldn't have been that fulfilling, but as all these characters have kind of been introduced, it just contributed to the winding wild scope of Sin City and its gnarly residents. Dug it. Also, fuck yeah Miho forever.

It is safe to say that I am addicted to this Graphic Novel series, and this is definitely a great edition.

I really love the change in perspective to little, deadly Miho. Her ruthlessness is mentioned throughout the other but is really shown in this novel. I also really really love the mob war angle in this one as well.

there was a little something, not quite sure what it was, that stopped it being a 5. It just didn't work quite as well, maybe the change in viewpoints, or the slightly different art styles.

Simple yet effective. Some great pieces in here and the story strung me along until the reveal.

This is another Dwight and the chicks from Old Town story. I really didn't care for it because we've already had Dwight overload from the previous two issues, and we already know Dwight's connection to Gail, who really wasn't that much of an interesting character to be back for this issue. It's just not that interesting seeing him take odd jobs at this age of his life trying to get to the bottom of something like a mob hit. Seems pointless and uninspired after The Yellow Bastard.

Since I'm not getting enough of a Marv fix this one really was boring. Miller's losing a lot of steam with this one, and adding drops of red color on hard to read drawn pictures doesn't help much.

Like a 3.5

A bit disappointed with this one. It was lovely seeing Dwight and Little Miho doing their thing (which is killing a whole lot of people) but there wasn't really much to the story.
