Postal, Vol. 1 by Bryan Edward Hill, Troy Peteri, Betsy Gonia

4.0

With a protagonist that has Asperger's Syndrome and a supporting cast made up pretty much entirely of ex-convicts, there are certainly a lot of fantastically charismatic and interesting characters in here, especially postal worker and unlikely hero, Mark, his mother, Dana, who is the town's hard-as-nails Mayor, and waitress with more than a few secrets, Maggie.

I thought Mark's perspective added a fantastic and unique dynamic, with his Asperger's handled really well within the context of the story. The artwork also really suited the tone of the series.

You have to suspend your disbelief in a few instances, but it's grippingly dark and twisted with elements of drama, mystery and intrigue. I also love the direction the ending implies the series will be heading next.
