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.

L'histoire est un peu plus maigre que dans les 3 premiers volumes, mais le dessin est fantastique. Planches superbes du carnaval à la Nouvelle-Orléans.

"Seriously," these clowns have no idea how to make a wonderfully elegant, enthralling and exhilarating graphic novel...

(WHY did it have to END!?)

Историята в този брой се вписва добре към останалите от предходните три и дообогатява персонажите и света им. Но все пак е добре, че не започнах прочита на „Блексед“ първо с този брой, както възнамерявах отначало, защото шансовете да ми допадне, както ми допада сега, вероятно щяха да са по-малки. Дотук най-силно ми харесаха по следния ред – 3, 1, 4, 2.

Корицата на четвъртия брой е една от най-добрите в поредицата (може би само на петата част е по-добра от тази), а като истории за най-завладяващи засега намирам тези в първи и трети брой.

This is such a beautifully made comic! Also, the story is pretty good. Man, the scene where Blacksad and Thomas go out for Creole food? So. Gorgeous. True art.
