Mabel has sworn vengeance on Mac for killing her partner (and lover)...but it is going to break her heart. And this isn't even Mac's biggest problem today. While trying to track the lovely criminal, the deputy discovers that not everything is as simple as it seems. And just like everything else with this bloody romance, things are complicated.
Grand Passion carries through on the promise of the first issue and has me craving the next one already. If it can handle this throughout its run it'll definitely be a series that ranks higher as a whole as I'm trying to not go overboard in how solid it is. There's a lot to like here in getting to see more of what both Doc and Mabel are up against and the potential for what will follow. Robinson's crafting a fun story here that Feister delivers in bold strokes, some great sensuality, and some really intense moments. Definitely worth it for fans of this particular genre that we don't get done well enough in comics. Read Full Review
All kidding aside, Robinson and Feister have built a bizarre story of mystery and lust. For every page that seems to give the reader a straight forward plot there are two more pages giving you a curve. There is no way to guess what is going to happen next and that is ultimately the best-selling point of a title like this. This is a comic custom-built for fans of thrillers, heists, and everything not so nice. Read Full Review
James Robinson and Tom Feister continue their romantic crime series with Grand Passion #2, and find surprising success mixing a grandiose vision of love with a hard-boiled crime thriller. Though it features a somewhat familiar plot, the approach has resulted in a series that so far feels different than a lot of crime comics in its touches of earnest romance. That mix of bullets and valentines makes the book enjoyable and fresh. Read Full Review
I'm loving this series. A lot is packed in to each issue and it's really keeping me guessing. Exactly what I want from a crime/mystery book.
We could perhaps do without the graphic violence, and the dialogue is painful at times but there is a certain something here keeping me reading.
