Der Hauptcharakter ist sozial defizitär und macht seinen Bruder wiederholt runter, was schwer zu ertragen ist. Überhaupt fiel es mir schwer für irgendeine der Figuren Sympathie aufzubauen. Die Story wird erst nach der Hälfte einigermaßen spannend. Wäre mir das Buch nicht empfohlen (und ausgeliehen) worden, hätte ich es nicht (zu Ende) gelesen.
The story is kind of a standard gritty revenge plot with some mystery added. The art is the truly remarkable thing here, mixing fine details and heavy brushes perfectly. The best moments are when it becomes surreal.
This series is also a modern classic of (North American) indie publishing. It's a one person project which was initially released through monthly issues (which is a whole lot of work for a single person). I'll definitely read the rest of the series.
