Like a powder keg, Suiciders: Kings of HelL.A. builds up and then explodes in exciting ways. Most importantly, a very angry and violent character feels sympathetic and you can relate with him. That's good writing. Read Full Review
The only complaint I have with this issue would have to be ending. Now, I'm not familiar with the lore of the original SUICIDERS series, so perhaps the creature that appeared at the end of this comic is normal for this world. However, the appearance of this vampire-like creature at the end of the issue confused more than enticed me to read the next issue. So while the issue may disappoint some who were expecting a continuation of the previous issue, I believe that fans will find that learning more about our protagonists is much better from a storytelling perspective.So far I'm enjoying Bermejo'ssequel series, despitethe fact that I haven't read the original series, and I believe that speaks volumes about the quality of Bermejo's amazing writing. People who haven't read his originalseries can jump right in with SUICIDERS KINGS OF HELL.A. This comic is worth checking out if you are a fan of well-developed characters matched with incredible artwork of their violent actions. Read Full Review
