Customer Reviews of The Hard Goodbye (Sin City, Book 1: Second Edition)

AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING.
Get dark. Get bloody dark.

This tale of twisted love and satisfying vengeance breaks the mold of comic art and plot.

Sin City comes at you with pummeling force. In pure Film Noir tradtion, the characters are gritty and tough. The females aren't women but dames. The Scenes are rendered in pure black and white that adds to the clear distinction between good and evil set by the story.

You wont find subleties here. The plot is straightforward, just like the dialogue. The action is quick and inventive. The violence gruesome (barbed wire laced with razor-blades to begin with).

The true subtlety of this book is its very existence. Nothing is quite like it. No one will even dare. Except maybe Frank Miller.

Tough to get through
Based on the excellent reviews posted here, I picked up Frank Miller's Sin City and yes I am pleased if not completly amazed! Though the plot and stroyline may be simple, it's the way Miller weaved the web that makes this one so great. The difference between Sin City as opposed to say Marvel or DC comics is the fact that the characters you fall in love with as the story unfolds die soon afterwards, making it a really difficult book to get through. I guess it was Marv's persistence and unquenchable thirst for revenge on those who had done him wrong that made me continue reading. Sin City is a dark place, a place of despair where there little hope yet no not no hope, as you'll soon find out. It took me some time to get used to the art but once I did, it seemed only fitting that this dark tale be done with alot of emphasis on the black rather than the white heh heh. After reading this one, I think I'll pick up another one by Miller, I only hope I know what I'm getting myself into...

Miller and Dark Horse equals terrible comics....
Well there is very little to like about this book. It's violent, has no story, and we are supposed to care about people who are nothing more then street gang killers. Miller is the writer who destroyed Batman and his non-existent writing skills show up here. Dark Horse will publish anything as long as it makes a quick buck, and now they are turning this into a movie. When will this stupidity end?
