Loveless, Vol. 2: Thicker Than Blackwater (Loveless #2)
Eisner award-winning writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, SUPERMAN: FOR TOMORROW) creates a Western for the new millennium. Reuniting with his HELLBLAZER collaborator, artist Marcelo Frusin, Azzarello fashions a tough-as-nails saga that combines all the bloody action and atmosphere of a Sergio Leone film with the provocative storytelling of HBO's Deadwood.

Like Deadwood, but comics... That’s how everyone describes Brian Azzarello and Marcelo Frusin’s Loveless, because both are foul-mouthed, grisly, and well-written.
The second volume starts off with flashbacks for Wes Cutter, his wife Ruth, and former slave Atticus Mann (all drawn by Daniel Zezelj). Then, things get back into gear with the story of a couple killed in their house, and a bounty hunter coming to Blackwater to kill Wes, now the sherrif in town.

I still didn't like this any better than the first volume. It's very bleak and depressing and there's no character that's even remotely sympathetic. I know people can be horrible, but this paints the kind of picture I don't want to look at. I think what bothers me is that there seems to be no hope at all - no hope and no point. I have the third volume here, so I'm going to read that as well, but I have to say I prefer Jonah Hex.

Y acá se va todo al carajo, para bien. ÂżCĂłmo seguir una serie hasta un tercer tomo cuando a fines del segundo no queda casi nadie vivo de los personajes recurrentes? Lea Loveless y tendrá la respuesta. Con el correr de los capĂtulos la serie gana en impredecible y en impresionante. Guion y dibujo se unen con armonĂa y sinergia y todos salen ganando. Particularmente interesante me pareciĂł el recurso de usar "fantasmas" para los flashbacks. Creo que en el #1 ya lo usaban, pero es acá don...more
I think I have a problem with Brian Azzarello's writing. You can always tell that there's some kind of "big picture" thing going on with his series, but you can never really get at it by reading an issue or two at a time. If it lowers you in my eyes for me to tell you that I still don't know what he's trying to say with Loveless, so fucking be it. And, on top of his minimalist dialogue, there's always this vague-looking art to go along with it. I might check this out when the series e...more
Brian Azzarello, Loveless: Thicker than Blackwater (Vertigo, 2007)
After the nastiness that plagued the first volume of Loveless, did you really expect things to get better? This is the world of Brian Azzarello, folks, and in this world, things do not end well. The carpetbaggers decided to kill two (or, in fact, many more) birds with one stone by appointing Wes Cutter the Sheriff of Blackwater; no one had any idea he'd actually take the job seriously, least of all Wes Cutter himself. ...more

Wow...this is a pretty brutal book, but I imagine the Civil War was in many ways brutal off the battlefields as well as on. A man once thought dead, captured up north, returns to Blackwater and is made sheriff of the town. Blackwater attracts death, crime, sex, and plenty of hot lead exchanges. There are no "good guys" in this book.
I'm just not into this series...
