Lady Killer Library Edition by Jamie Rich, Joëlle Jones
4.0

One of the most beautiful and downright fucked up looking books.

I really love Jones style in art. Brutal as hell with knifes through every part of the body, hammers to your jaw, eyes ripped out. Some great stuff. And Jones writes a hell of a main character who will fuck you up. Think James Bond, but way sexier, and more brutal than he could ever be. And you have our story of a hired killer.

But really, the story feels a bit over the top too much. The first half which I read years ago still holds up as a fun bloody romp. The second story feels like it'll never fully be completed with a big cliffhanging moment and a brutal murder of a main character that went sour way to quick.

But overall, this huge collection worth viewing for the art alone, 5 out of 5. The story, a 3 out of 5. So 4 out of 5 it gets.
