I enjoyed this early work from Matt Kindt which he and Jason Hall created. I have enjoyed his recent Mind MGMT series, and it's great to see his early art and storytelling.
This book can be a quick read, but the characters are interesting ones for a noir story. I also enjoyed the interplay between the author and the actors of the radio play. What makes for a good radio drama? You'll find out!

With a name like Pistolwhip, I was expecting something a little more western. That said, this is a great little noir story. Nice touch following the various points of view in each subsequent chapter.
Kind of a strange graphic novel, with an interesting black and white styling of the illustrations. Is a sort of round about story, starting at the ending and then the beginning and doing a full circle story line. Interesting, yet a little confusing.
Not all that impressed.
