james_desantis 's review for:
Revolver
by Matt Kindt
Loved the first half, but that second half...
So what happens when you begin to have two different lives. One is your real world where you're at a dead end job, with a girl you probably don't love, sitting around waiting to go to sleep. Then when you do sleep you're in a world of panic, on the road, fucking your old boss, and killing people just to survive. Sam, the main character, is a interesting character that seems to have his mental stability begin to break. What's real? What's fake? He's starting not to know which leads the viewer down the same road.
Best: The first half of him balancing both worlds is very interesting. I also thought it was intriguing to make him as unlikable as he was. Sometimes that backfires but making him miserable throughout was a interesting choice. I also thought the feel and tone worked really well.
Bad: The fights were poorly drawn and hard to tell what was happening. The last two issues were a mess, and the "twist" ending was really badly done IMO. I also thought it began to drag around the time the "revelation" came.
Overall this was a interesting sci-fi, mystery, type of book. I'd go with a 3 out of 5 just because it did make me want to finish, I just wish the ending was way better.
