review 1: Not familiar with Philip Gelatt, but Tyler Crook, the illustrator, is the current artist on the BPRD: Hell On Earth storyline and his work is excellent. I'm interesting in history, in eastern Europe/Russia and in spies, this book has all three and a tangential connection to the super spy Reilly, whom James Bond was based on. Good bit of noir, nice limited palette and clean panel layouts. Recommended for sure
review 2: Set during the first World War, Petrograd follows an english spy as he navigates the Russian aristocracy, revolutionary peasents and his own superiors while trying to have Rasputin assassinated for the sake of the war effort. The art is fresh and unique, but sacrifices a bit of clarity for style. Oftentimes I wouldn't know if I was looking at the ... moremain character or other supporting characters. The story and dialogue and good and satisfying, but never rises above that. less
