In this exceptional noir tour de force from writer Juan Díaz Canales and artist Juanjo Guarnido, the hotly anticipated worldwide bestseller returns to American shores after a seven-year hiatus with a brand-new two-part storyline! Following its chart-topping 2021 release in Europe and now translated for English-language readers by the team of Brandon Kander and Diana Schutz, this volume features feline private eye John Blacksad as he tangles with the unions, the mob, and mid-century construction magnate Lewis Solomon, who plans to pave New York City's green space, come hell or high water. From soaring heights to terrifying depths, Blacksad must steer the right course between the lofty world of Shakespearean theater and the seedy nether regions of the city. Towering above it all is the foreboding figure of Solomon, who will let nothing thwart his dream of power. With three prestigious prizes from the Angoulême International Comics Festival as well as multiple Eisner and Harvey awards, the Blacksad series of graphic albums is a global success story, now published in thirty-nine different countries.

Finally after a long time new volume of Blacksad is published :) I wont go into much talk about art because (as was case before) art is magnificent. What to say but .... beautiful :)

Story-wise our private eye gets involved into the conflict between Mafia and construction unions. What starts as a rather straight-forward task to protect the Union representative from Mafia, escalates into a conflict between main power players in the city, rich and powerful aiming to change the city landscape and leave their mark.

Cannot wait for the conclusion of the story in volume 2.

Highly recommended to fans of beautiful art, noir crime stories and Blacksad in particular. ( )

This Blacksad story is a solid graphic novel. The artwork is detailed without being overly rendered. The story is engaging but the book is too short! If you like noir fiction, then give this a try. ( )

Note: I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher.

Incredibly detailed illustration with expressive characters and a style distinct from other comics. The story didn't draw me in as much as I had hoped but it wasn't bad. ( )
