predictable noir wannabe that has interesting characters but conventional plot points and cliches at every point. I love noir and to see such haphazard attempts is very frustrating, I liked the characters and certain storylines but it's way too easy for the lead character. I understand that he is suppose to be the smartest person in the room but by making this choice it limits all threats and grit from the story. the happy ending craps all over the genre
Not my style, but it was okay.
Excellent crime story by Gary Phillips. I've liked everything he's ever written, but I'm more impressed that Publisher Boom! studios served him well by teaming him up with an artist, Marc Laming, whom I've never heard of but would like to see more books drawn by him.
A little far fetch and at times it seems like it was hastily written. I guess I've been spoiled watching Ozarks, it's nowhere near that.
Great crime caper. The affable main character reminded me of some of the other good "bad" guys from fiction, TV and movies.
When you start making comparisons on the cover to Ed Brubaker/Sean Phillips AND Elmore Leonard, the book better have the creative cajones to back it up. Yet, sadly, I knew this was a lost cause when a character started quoting Ayn Rand on page 3.The book is about money laundering and as criminal enterprises go, it ranks just above rolling through a stop sign in terms of being comic book worthy.Jeff Sinclair, like Wolverine, is the best at what he does, and what he does is “rinse” criminals money...
I hadn't read anything by Gary Phillips before, but I picked up a bunch of trade paperbacks by Boom! (the publisher) in a sale. This was a great, fast-moving crime fiction story. Things happen quickly, the plot barrels forward, and we never lose sight of the main storyline. I've seen artist Marc Laming's name before, though I don't recall exactly where. The art here is great - all the characters are distinct and it's always clear exactly what's happening. It's not flashy, it's solid storytelling...
"I was curious about Sinclair. He didn't say word one when he went down. He's a principled man in an unprincipled profession. Who knows what he's capable of?" -- federal agent Della DashServiceable crime-drama graphic novel about Jeff Sinclair, a shrewd money launderer headquartered in San Francisco. Routinely called upon to 'rinse' ill-gotten gains from various folks (it goes without saying that they have their collective fingers in criminal pies), he gets mixed up in a situation that has him d...
Good story. Nice artwork. Choppy delivery. The story didn’t flow. The action moved around too much and expected the reader to keep up. Reads like a first draft of a screenplay.
Likeable main character. Enjoyed it.
Good story. Makes me think of a movie. Best line that sums up my opinion of the comic: "He's a principled man in an unprincipled profession. Who knows what he's capable of?"
The ad for this series claimed that it would appeal to fans of the many collaborations by author Ed Brubaker and artist Sean Phillips. That was exactly right. This tense, fast-paced story about a modern day money launderer fits perfectly on the shelf between Criminal, Vol. 1: Coward and Incognito, Volume 1. I loved that this story wrapped up in 4 issues, not wasting even a single panel with less important details. It was not uncommon for 2 different scenes to be depicted on the same page. My onl...
I would probably make this a 3.5.This story started out slow. I didn't think i would like it. I like my good guys and this was a story about one bad guy screwing over other bad guys.The art was good. Nothing spectacular, but it was good.The characters were interesting. They did a good job of of developing all sides of the story. Even the throw away characters had reasons for what they did.The writing was good.The plot was surprising at the end. It turned everything around on me and showed that t...
