Are you a fan of GrindHouse movies? If so you may actually like this graphic novel. That is what it makes me think of. Then again this GN is from Aftershock comics and I find most of their works have this same feeling. This is a mobster story that takes place in the northern midwest, Minnesota to be exact. A Family of immigrants made a successful life making sandwiches for vending machines and local gas stations. But what is a noir graphic novel without a mob element. The grandfather is typical mobster fair, who goes to war over trucking of the sandwiches with the Chicago mob. And a bloodbath ensues. I could do without the blood bath, and there was nothing special in the story. So at the halfway point I threw in the towel. This is for diehard fans only. Otherwise, skip this and find something happy.
