A review by rebus
Jinx by Brian Michael Bendis
2.75
I've only occasionally enjoyed the work of Bendis, so I was pleased to see that one of his earlier works had finally been collected again in a new volume.
It's just really disappointing. It's not bad, per se, but the art is bad, the line work is bad, the design is lacking, and it's visually incoherent quite often. The story itself is a somewhat trite modern approximation of noir--which is why I wanted to read it in the first place--but it falls short of even the most mediocre work from the 40s.
