Overall: B-
The artwork is dynamic, expressive, and matches the crime noir tone but I just couldn’t connect with this graphic novel. The main character isn’t poorly written or annoying; his humor lands fine, and most of his choices make sense. I just never felt invested in him. With so many other characters and story threads, the story started to feel overwhelming and chaotic. It’s one of those books that I wish I liked more than I did, because the individual elements are solid but they just never came together for me.
