review 1: Another favorite of mine. Imagine if the Riverdale kids, you know...Archie and the gang, were all real. Like very real, with adultry, murder, drugs and crime. I know how that might seem. Just trust me. Trust Brubaker & Phillips. Riley Richards is living the dream life, a good job, a hot wife but...he's miserable. He has a secret. That's a recipe for murder. So he decides to kill his wife, all along the way killing much of his past as well. He has it all planned out. Is he smart enough to get away with it? This is wonderful also as Sean Phillips exceeds himself by drawing the flashbacks in simplier, cartoony style, reminescent of the Archie comics. And it's all balance by the dark nasty **** going on in the present. Fantastic!!!
review 2: Okay, not the most inte... morellectually stimulating book out there. But c'mon; it only takes an hour to read. The book is pulp fiction; like a graphic film noir. Well drawn. The interesting thing is that book is drawn in the style of pulp fiction covers. Dark, somewhat realistic, guys smoking cigarettes and corpses laid out next to the bed. But the characters reminisce about when they all first met, in high school. Those panels are drawn in the style of Archie and Veronica. Those two styles should not go together but for whatever reason, it didn't bother me. If you like genre fiction like this, even if you're not a fan of graphic books, pick it up. You'll enjoy it less
