Good, but becoming more of the same. ( )

There's all kind of families in it.

Dwight e Miho i protagonisti assoluti di questo volume. L'intreccio è interessante, non come alcuni volumi precedenti, e solo al termine del racconto si capiscono le dinamiche della storia. Mentre tutti i personaggi sono luci e ombre, la piccola letale Miho è sempre evanescente, completamente bianca con il nero necessario solo a delinearne i dettagli, come per accentuare la sua figura di killer ninja.

A Sin City tale of violent revenge when a Family killing includes the wrong innocent victim. Fine noir story, with deadly little Miho a fascinating presence throughout. ( )

This is the slimmest volume in the Sin City series so far, and the overall quality suffers for this. The story is slim, with the reason for revenge given very late in the game and not convincing enough to get the reader to believe Dwight would be a part of this particular thirst for blood. The illustrations don’t seem up to par with Miller’s usual excellence. The character of Miho, in particular, is sketched poorly. While it won’t turn me away from the rest of the series, I’m glad this book was first in the series or I might not have ventured on to the others. ( )

I’m over halfway through with the series, and I think this may have been my least favorite so far. So much so that I don’t remember a whole lot that went on during it.

Having been reading the series for so long and seen the movie a couple of times, I think these last few volumes aren’t going to be quite as fun, considering my favorite parts or the most exciting parts have already happened. I don’t even recall the Family Values volume from the film even.

I’m determined to finish the last two so I won’t be quiting but I might not read them quite so soon.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 159307297X, Paperback)

Frank Miller's first-ever original graphic novel is one of Sin City's nastiest yarns to date! Starring fan-favorite characters Dwight and Miho, this newly redesigned edition sports a brand-new cover by Miller, some of his first comics art in years! There's a kind of debt you can't ever pay off, not entirely. And that's the kind of debt Dwight owes Gail. The girls of Old Town have their own family values, their own laws, and when someone too dumb to know better breaks them, an example needs to be set. Dwight's got his own reasons for taking the job, and deadly little Miho . . . Miho likes to play with them a little first. With a new look generating more excitement than ever before, this third edition is the perfect way to attract a whole new generation of readers to Frank Miller's masterpiece!
