Loveless, Vol. 2: Thicker Than Blackwater by Werther Dell'Edera, Brian Azzarello, Danijel Žeželj, Marcelo Frusín
3.0
I still didn't like this any better than the first volume. It's very bleak and depressing and there's no character that's even remotely sympathetic. I know people can be horrible, but this paints the kind of picture I don't want to look at. I think what bothers me is that there seems to be no hope at all - no hope and no point. I have the third volume here, so I'm going to read that as well, but I have to say I prefer Jonah Hex.
What I dislike most, I think, is the crudeness. Again, I've watched Deadwood, so I don't shock easily, but would a woman who is as much in love with her husband as Ruth seems to be really say that his cock is the thing she misses most about him? I dunno, maybe I'm too much of a romantic, but scenes like that one seem to be too gratuitous for me.
