Sin City Vol. 5: Family Values by Frank Miller

The worst of the lot so far. Even the artwork isn't living up to the standard set by previous volumes. It's not a total loss - I do like the emphasis on found family that's going on here, and how the central reason for vengeance resulted from the unseen consequences of an act of thoughtless and petty destruction - but mostly it's just boring. Page after page of Miho killing people, and it's nowhere near as interesting as Miller seems to think it is. She's not any sort of character, just a pretty murder machine, and if I never hear the patronising phrase "deadly little Miho" again it will be too soon.

Despite having Miho as the main character, I didn't like it as much as the others.

This is my least favorite Sin City book that I've read so far. There wasn't much of a story - it's mostly Miho laying waste to the mafia. In the 80's I'm sure that a ninja on roller blades was insanely cool. But reading it for the first time now it's just kind've silly.

Super simple story told with the same quality as the rest of the series.

Another great Sin city volume, tons of action, old and new characters and a good storyline. I love it!

Different from all the others, which I didn't particularly like. Definitely the weakest from the bunch.

There is no story or plot, Dwight and Miho just kill everyone. Could've been a lot better if it was longer and if more details were written.

The illustrations are amazing, no doubt though.

Sadly I think this will be my least favorite of the Sin City volumes. I enjoyed the tie-in at the end about what family can mean, but otherwise didn't really connect with the characters as I have with the rest of the series.
