This was a cool idea, but really confusing. Often it was hard to tell who was speaking. The art style is like someone inked storyboards. Kind of cool and different, unfortunately it was hard to tell who was who sometimes. I think I would have liked it a lot more if it was shorter (maybe 6 issues instead of 12). I really liked the ending.

Star rating: 2.5ish
I don't know how to feel about this first volume. I switched between being intrigued and being confused. I liked the art and I liked the premise. I can't really make sense of everything tho, especially the ending. I did enjoy it to some extend. Didn't love it.
Not planning on continuing this serie.

This would be 4 stars if the art wasn't so incredibly busy and the writing wasn't so wordy. I almost feel like it would've made a better book than a comic.

I have zero idea what book Sam read, though it's been a year and a half, so he probably doesn't either.
Our story opens with an amnesiac waking up in a grungy motel room with a gun beside him and the phone ringing. The caller says the above and we're off to the races without knowing why.
We eventually learn that we are in a limbo of sorts and are being recruited to hunt down some woman by a representative of god. Limbo is exactly what you expect, if what you expect is a 1930's gang war (I mean, that's what I expect). Our lead is a bad man who does bad things to worse people, and basically plays everyone against the middle while trying to learn the truth while everyone is lying to him. That anything he does works is a little convenient, and the whole work is a little wordy (holy crap, you have to read!!! Like words and stuff!!!), but I had a grand time with it.
My main gripe, besides the above convenience, is that there are a couple of time when they are flipping between two scenes quickly and the art doesn't help enough with keeping things straight. But it was still fun, and I'm going to read some more.
They're coming, Sam. You'd better start running.

Do you ever wonder whether a lie is a lie if god tells it?

I really enjoyed the scratchy art style and interesting premise of the first issue and was very keen to read more, however, I don't remember anything else that happened in the remaining issues after that, so I won't be reading more any time soon, if ever.

Just reread this because I finally got volume 2 and wanted the story fresh in my brain! I love the artwork by Chris Visions so much I have to study every panel slowly. Things you might not give a second thought to, like rain running off of a car, are done with such expertise it really amazes me. Looking forward to continuing the story.
