Ms. Tree Vol. 1: One Mean Mother by Max Allan Collins

3.0

A well-collected better than average series of pulpy "detective" fare. For my taste, it's light on mystery and detective work and heavy on revenge stories. I could also critique the lack of internal motivations and the over-reactionary nature of the protagonist, but these were comic books not novels. It was fun to read, great for a break from proper novels. The art had that 80s/early 90s style of colorful shading/lighting and anatomy that I've always thought works well for comics (particularly noirish stuff like this and Batman). Don't expect any mind-blowing story beats or character development, but it's a fun read.
