That Texas Blood, Vol. 1 by Chris Condon
3.0

Obviously Chris grew up reading Brubaker's worth because...this is Brubaker-Lite.

That's not a bad thing. In fact more comics that feature brutal crime stories is a good thing to me. When a brother comes into an old town to find out what happened, everyone begins betraying everyone. Deaths pile up quick, revenge is on everyone's mind.

And here's the thing. I couldn't get invested in the characters at all. Everyone fell flat for me. The art? Amazing. The dialogue? Solid. But I didn't care to root or like anyone.

Also...and I know this was done on purpose (I believe so anyway) but if one more fucking person said "Well" I was going to fucking KILL SOMEONE!!!!

Anyway, it was solid but I feel a little let down overall.
