Another compelling tale in the Vertigo Crime series. While interesting it was more predictable than others. The art was clean and reminded me of Mike Avon Oeming.
I gave it a 7/10 on my personal scale.

For a graphic novel it really got me thinking about some social dynamics we often dismiss.

I am so excited I picked up this book. The premise of this book is that this LA Cop is having flash backs and is thinking about the nightmare of Rwanda. This happens when a gang war breaks out in LA. This killer is wielding a machete, which is similar to his past.
The cop in this book is an incredible character, albeit an unbelievable one. I would hope that given the fact it is 2016 a cop like this would not be allowed on the streets. He is having flash backs, taking hardcore medicine to deal with it. He seems like a man that could snap at any time.
I really disliked some of the subjects of this book. The intense adult subjects. This is not PG-13 at all. The rape scene was way to intense for me. It really bothered me. This book also included a image of dead people, lots of violence and cussing. This caused me to take away a star.
Overall I think this is a pretty great graphic novel.

Really a 2.5, a decent plot but the art is so-so and doesn't help the story that much. OK if you like hard-boiled detective stuff.

richard's review
Speaking of terrible crime comics, this book is a piece of garbage. Have you seen Hollywood Shuffle? This book reads like one of the ridiculous movies Robert Townsend was forced to try out for.
