Again, really excellent. I love Canales's writing, and Guarnido's art is amazing.

Det räcker inte med fantastiska teckningar när du har en grundhistoria så tung av klyschor och så rörigt uppbyggd. Intressantare än själva serien är att läsa tecknarens genomgång av sina överväganden och stilval i slutet.

I've enjoyed this entire series - but when you pick up A Silent Hell, don't miss the short vignettes in the back; they are fantastic!

A detective/noir comic based in 1950s New Orleans, how can you pass that up. I was surprised in some of the accuracy in the drawings of Canal Street and St Charles during Mardi Gras, but also there were some inaccuracies that I wish would have represented the cities architecture better. In general the art is beautiful and does a good job on the colors of the city though.

Story is mostly standard Blacksad/detective story, and a PI has been hired, but Blacksad instead is more interested in why he is doing something, and of course causes himself more trouble than if he would just go find the person he was hired to look for.
