So I never had much interest in Sin City. I saw parts of the movie and the style never stuck with me. So with the graphic novel I never really wanted to dive in because Frank Miller, while I respect, usually isn't my style of comics. Yet, I'm kind of glad I picked this up, because it was pretty fun ride.

Marv is a old asshole ready to fuck some shit up after he wakes up to a dead girl on his best. After making love and waking up and seeing her dead he flips out. He goes on a hunt to find out who could do this? Especially behind his back since he is a trained killer. The story takes us to the worst parts of Sin City trying to track down who did what. The trip is...trippy (get it?) and brutal and downright fucked up.

Good: Enjoyed the monologue for the most part. Usually it can go to the side of boring but it worked well here. I also liked the brutality of this world. That everything is bitter and broken. The villain here is truly creepy and the way he does his "thing" is disturbing to say the least. The ending also was well done and had that "the only way it could end" yet still surprise you somehow.

Bad: The woman in this seem...useless. As if they were written as plot devices and that's about it. I especially didn't like the way Marv talked about them, almost like children or dumb. Was annoying. It could just be a product of it's time, or Marv's views, but still. I also thought the art wasn't that great. I know it's a style but sometimes I had to re-look a page 2-4 times to get what the fuck was happening.

Overall it's good. I didn't think I'd like it at all so it was a surprise for me. I'll def read the rest of the series but this was a solid fun start. A 3 out of 5!
