review 1: Aunque la trama resulta mas simple que en el primer volumen, Cooke tiene el sentido común de aprovechar el espacio para experimentar con el lenguaje narrativo. Enriquece ciertamente la experiencia, da un salto en sus capacidades narrativas (¿tiene techo este hombre?) y por sobre todo se llena de referencias a la época y al género mediante mucho mas que citas. Mezclando el audiovisual con la publicidad y el cartoon, Cooke logra que el segundo volumen de su adaptación del Parker de Richard Stark siga siendo testimonio de una época a la que no pertenece, pero tributa.
review 2: Classic noir in the rich tradition of Chandler and MacDonald. Stark was a prolific writer of noir novels, the Parker series being his most known creation. Here artist Darwyn Cooke bri... morengs this dark, but simple tale to life with his imaginative illustrations. The color palette is mostly blue, black and grey - to fit the theme, I suppose. The story is relatively easy to follow: Parker is seeking revenge on the Outfit for daring to take a hit out on him and goes on a robbing/killing spree that ends with him winning. I give it three stars (instead of four or five) because Cooke's ambitious noir rendering sometimes makes it hard to follow the action. Some of his panels are so drenched in dark blue and black that I had difficulty discerning who was crashing through the glass panes I to whom, or who was 'thwacking' whom on the forehead. Other than that this is a pretty solid addition to this series. less
