Reviews

[Darrell · Rating 3 out of 5]

this was a Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash discount rack pickup...a Ben Templesmith esque sketchy artwork about stolen money, double crosses and a cross country chase. There aren't too many graphic novels that feature retired pimps on a mission, the kentucky derby, torture in the inland empire and large minority casts.

Really not-good art. Had to give up partway through because it was constantly confusing and/or putting me to sleep.
