The Kitchen
by Ollie Masters
I'd seen a few commercials for the new movie The Kitchen about a group of mobster's wives who take over the business while their husbands are in jail. It's set in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York in the late 1970's. I read an article about the movie that mentioned that it was based on a comic series and that piqued my interest. Lucky for me, my library had a copy. It's 8 issues collected in one book
The initial premise of the comic series is the same as the movie but I have no idea whether the two stories play out the same. I'll have to check out whether the movie is fairly similar to the comics or not.
It's about mobsters so I wasn't surprised to find it full of violence and language that's similar to a Sopranos episode. It took me a bit to figure out the relationships between the women and their significant others. There are some things that I thought were rather predictable and other times I was rather surprised at the direction Masters took the plot.
It was well done but as I said, very violent. I'm glad I read it. It's hard to use the word good because there really isn't a good character to be found.
The artwork by Ming Doyle and Jordie Bellaire is both detailed and rough. The feel of the urban 70's landscape is well done.
