The sixth installment starts bringing the Sin City series closer to its end. This volume is full of shorter stories about the characters and while a little off the beaten path, I found it enjoyable to read little bits and pieces instead of a long continuous journey.
Not sure where it’s all heading but I should be able to read the final volume sometime soon and see how it all compares to the movie in its entirety.

A pretty good collection of shorts and one-shots. Got some solid stories, like "The Customer is Always Right," "Silent Night," and "Daddy's Little Girl," but also some clunkers ("Fat Man and Little Boy," "Rats").

No wonder I was confused by this one. This is volume 6 of the series. Whoops. Will try again with volume 1 before I rate this.

It's only about a 40 minute read. It's solid - probably not Frank Miller's best work but good nonetheless.
I will say that the protagonist, Marv, is (as the kids say) a "simp".

This was an uneven book of short stories. It did shed a little new light on some of the characters, but not my favorite in the series.

As usual the style is impeccable, but the assortment of stories are too short and schizophrenic to be genuinely enjoyed in one run or when spaced. I much prefer the long-story style of the previous volumes.

This is one of my favorites from the series! I love the short stories that can be read independently from one another or intertwined. And as always the illustrations blow my mind.
