We'll stop there, only to leave you, the reader, some surprises. Yes I know, this would've been a much better review if I had read the last two issues. That's on me. I chose this book not knowing it was a five part series. Here's my take; the art was very good. Not good in the sense of it's super detailed or anything like that, just good in that it is very fitting to the time period, it looks like how comics looked back then, which I always enjoy when reading stories like this. The story is great, even with me not knowing the last few issues, but then I am always a fan of a story like this. I'm going to go back and read the last few and hopefully pick this book up if it's released in a trade. If you like noir or serial killer stories based back in the day, check this book out.
