Not bad for a Sin City-like story with the plot from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Nice modern take. I was only partly confused in some of the panels where the detail was needed. Other than that, I read Powers and love Bendis' dialogue use. Very similar to real speech. Nice one.

Jinx feels a little dated but also gives the reader a window into the writer Bendis would become. Alias and Scarlett are right there in Jinx and that was interesting to experience.

Thrilling page turner that proved very satisfying.

Very much enjoyed the art style, however at times it was (perhaps deliberately?) difficult to tell exactly what was going on. Not the biggest problem in the world but I would occasionally find myself going back to the big 'splashes' after realising in the following panels someone had been shot (or similar).

The art isn't really my taste, but the plot is excellent. Bendis has an amazing ear for dialogue.
