Whoa, talk about starting 2019 with a bang!

This story starts right off the bat in a crazy way. Three guys in a truck trying to outrun people trying to take whatever is in it. So once we establish this insane story, crashing, and seeing a friend betray another, the real story actually starts. A revenge tale that goes deep thanks to a flushed out backstory of two best friends and someone they both care for being the heart of it all. Then the ending, which I won't spoil, goes to insane heights of craziness that I can't help but love.

Good: The art is gritty yet the facial expressions and movements can be cartoony to make a awesome mix of the two. I love every character in here. The brother like relationship, the love and betrayal, and of course the twist and turns Donny is famous for all work well. The ending is one of the most ambitious, outright insane, endings I've ever read but loved every second. The dialogue and pacing of the story are near perfect in my opinion.

Bad: Uhhh maybe a tad confusing at the start?

Overall, one of my favorite Cates books ever and I love a lot of his series like Redneck and Babyteeth. This is a great way to start 2019. A 4.5 out of 5, pushing it up to a 5.
