Revolvers
Steeped in the tradition of body horror, Revolvers is a story of duty, love, betrayal, and revenge set against the background of an alternate vision of present-day Detroit.
Hampton Wales is a police detective who not only has to deal with victims of violent crimes but with his own death as he finds himself trapped in the Moratorium, a hellscape where people from his past now hunt him, and where the torment of eternity is manifested through continuous blood sport centered around the Gyre, an ancient device that may hold the key to the mystery surrounding his demise.
Led by a mysterious figure known as La Piton, Hampton must struggle to survive long enough to solve one more murder, even as the effects of the Moratorium begin to overwhelm him. But in this world of endless shootouts and death, as the ghosts with guns, the Revolvers, battle with each other, Hampton will realize that there is something even more terrifying waiting for him to uncover... the truth.

Wow, I don't think I ever went to review a graphic novel and was the first to do so. That certainly doesn't bode well for the book's popularity. I mean, barely nor matings and mine's the first review with words.
And the thing is, I don't know if this book deserves much popularity. I know these things are subjective, but for me, it didn't work at all.
The art was fun and conceptually in was interesting enough, but the plot was all over the place, trying to be too many different things at once, making for an oddly disjointed, overly convoluted, and clunky narrative.
I know I started this review with the word wow which may be misleading, but just so we're on the same page: this was definitely well toward the bottom of the barrel among all the graphic novels I've been reading lately. Just too...messy. Pass.

The opening book was a big action scene, outside if that it wasn't a good story.
Fridging immediately happens. I thought we were past this.
The art wasn't for me.
