From a purely visual point of view, Toth is a genius. The art and visual story telling in this book is jaw dropping. Toth is a master of the medium. However, is writing definitely could’ve used some work and if this had gone on longer than it did, I’m sure it would’ve refined over time. The stories we get here though are entertaining, the writing isn’t awful it’s just a bit clunky. I like the plots but the dialogue definitely feels dated. Maybe that’s what Toth was going for, setting it in the 30’s and going for a pulp aesthetic, but it didn’t work too well for me in the dialogue department. Even some of the narration was much at times, Toth should’ve let his pictures tell more of the story.
Still loved this, perhaps the best drawn book I’ve ever read. This guy should do every book.
