Review:
This was pretty good, although I don't find myself completely sucked in.
I think the artwork in this is amazing; it's captured that noir feeling so incredibly well and the colors and the darkness of it is fantastic. I also love the setting of old Hollywood and I feel like this captures the era amazingly.
I think this volume is very much setup for what I imagine comes next and we're introduced to a lot of characters, some of which I found to be very similar to one another. You're introduced to a mystery but that's not the focal point of this volume, which I think is a bit of a shame. The whole thing just feels a little bit too short.
I know there are only three volumes in this series, so I might pick up the next two at some point, but for now, I'm not wholly convinced on the story. It might be worth reading just for the art though.
