dark funny mysterious fast-paced

4.0

While I felt the twist to the book was telegraphed early on, and I didn't really care / get a feel for a majority of the characters introduced, Assassin Nation is a pretty fun murder non-mystery. Who is trying to kill the former #1 assassin in the world? The answer won't surprise you! But the ridiculousness of the violence is enhanced by [a:Erica Henderson|375348|Erica Henderson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1449194223p2/375348.jpg]'s perfectly cartoonish art.

I recommend this for fans of [b:100 Bullets, Vol. 1: First Shot, Last Call|94510|100 Bullets, Vol. 1 First Shot, Last Call|Brian Azzarello|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327888942l/94510._SY75_.jpg|2647240], [b:Die!Die!Die!, Vol. 1|43999494|Die!Die!Die!, Vol. 1|Robert Kirkman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1556909117l/43999494._SY75_.jpg|68403161], [b:VIRGIL|24309968|VIRGIL|Steve Orlando|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1420486600l/24309968._SY75_.jpg|43889058], and anyone looking for a book about thieves or assassins trying to undermine each other.

God, I loved this comic. I think I may be the only one too. The story is bonkers but the characters are very colorful. Speaking of colorful I love Erica's art in this. I knew her work form squirrel girl and I feel like the silliness in her marvel work matched the tone with Kyle's writing. I personally don't have any complaints about this book. I love it.
