Description
"Hollywood, 1948--A noir film stuck in endless reshoots. A writer plagued by nightmares from the war. A movie starlet's suspicious death. Her replacement's suspicious past. And a mogul and his security chief willing to do anything to keep the cameras rolling, as the Red Scare and the blacklist begin to tear the town apart."--Back cover.Tags

I enjoyed this book as I read it, but it did not deliver on all the potential and set-up it had, and the ending just fell flat. Great atmosphere goes far, but it cannot cover up a thin sketch of a plot.
Different, and that's a good thing. While the ending is not really one in the true sense, the story did stay with me for a few days, so that told me it was indeed a good one :)
I dunno, sometimes comics that simply take all the familiar elements from a genre work, and sometimes, they don't. This was just okay, it felt like they couldn't inhabit the genre as authentically as with the pulp stuff (the Criminal series) and I honestly was a bit unclear on the ending, but also ready for it to be over.
