This one is self-contained and not part of an ongoing series which makes a change.
When a bank heist goes wrong, ex-cop Gabe Orson's girlfriend is murdered, setting off a chain of violence in his quest for vengeance
This is a fast paced, thrill ride with car chases and shootouts and lots of death and gore.
The artwork by Matteo Scalera easily matches up to the harsh violence of Justin Jordan's script. The colouring work by Moreno Dinisio deserves a mention too, adding extra depth and vividness to the already good looking artwork.
There's nothing subtle about this, but some days I'm not looking for that finely crafted bon mot and something like this hits the spot quite nicely indeed.
The supporting characters struggle to move past one dimension, but Orson and Rachel- the kick ass woman who joins him on his rampage- are well drawn (in all senses) and have some depth to them.
The plot has some nice twists and unexpected turns too.
It's a damned fine piece of entertainment and would make a great movie. A good way to kill an hour of your day.
