More Ar-hen-tina!
This one's so so though. The plot is good enough but I didn't care about this mystery author or kid who could destroy you with his eyes.
The art is gross too often- almost always.

Artwork is great. Story is good and well paced, but characterization is lacking. Too short or too much jammed into the original magazine’s publication limits to include everything it does and also build the characters enough. Great, quick read all in all!

Wow! Short, fast-paced, and very much entertaining. It most certainly was a worthy read. The artwork was great, and the dialogues were well written.

El arte de Gimenez es superior a este relato algo desordenado

Historia corta y refrescante.

O traço de Giménez e a sua obsessão barroca por detalhes não chegam para redimir um álbum muito mediano que tenta misturar fantástico com policial. A história inicia-se no Vietnam, onde um grupo de soldados encarregue de atacar uma aldeia assiste incrédulo aos poderes de uma criança que se mostra capaz de destruir aeronaves com o olhar. Boa premissa, inspiradora de macabras histórias de guerra e aventura, mas o que é que os autores fazem com ela? Nada de interessante. A acção regressa à Chinatown dos anos 80, onde o agora mais crescido jovem de poderes assassinos é manipulado por uma ambiciosa vietnamita para matar os líderes criminosos locais e tornar-se a rainha do crime. Apenas um acto de rebelião a trava. O testemunho vem de um dos soldados presentes no estranho acontecimento de guerra, agora transformado em escritor de romances de terror. Se o desenho é de elevada qualidade, o argumento arrasta-se num tédio previsível.

2nd read, 1st read last year i thought it was gonna be weird to read something by Giminez thats not sci fi and spaceships, but his meticulousness for realistic detail of all his machines he draws translates fantastically to drawing something as boring as an apartment but filling it to the brim with obscurities and oddities. Future Imperfect trophy room vibes but real stuff. Also dude that opium smoke to steaming sewer grate in chinatown transition is insane and a wonderful example of something that while u could do it in a movie, it would be to a much lesser effect. Comics are the perfect medium to execute something like that and one of my favorite things about comics will always be when you read something that u can’t pull off in any other medium. Also as always with Giminez the violence is very impactful, and this time around it’s downright disgusting but u can’t look away. Damn i wish he was still around he was an absolute master of his craft but anyways yeah good book
