The Ballad of Sang
by Ed Brisson
This was goddamn nuts and I loved 90% of it!
Sang is a killer. He's also a half blind and mute kid who's trying to just be a normal kid. However, after his master is killed he cuts off the arm of a drug lord and runs away. The drug lord puts out a bounty and all these gangs start to head out to kill him. Sang must survive, with the help of a mother-like figure, to go against all these gangs plus fight back against the drug lord himself.
This is both intense and funny as hell. The dialogue is just enough to build the characters and world plus the humor hits high for me. I also loved the art, over the top and cartoony but just perfect for this series. The pacing is well done, feeling like a movie, and by the end I was wanting more. The only negative is maybe it takes a bit to get sucked into this wacky world and also the main villain is pretty typical save the ending.
Overall, great stuff. Ed Brisson knocks it out of the park here as making a very funny story mixed with heart and extreme violence. A 4 out of 5.
