Guns, lovers, losers and surprises ... damn I love Sin City.
If you've seen the movie "Sin City" (and if you haven't go watch it today) you've seen this story -- Dwight comes back to town with a new face and a murder rap hanging over his head. A run-in with a drunken abusive boyfriend leads to a lot more trouble than he needs.
We get to see some old friends again -- Gail, Shellie, Manute, and of course, deadly little Miho, who I just *adore.* One question -- where do Gail and Miho keep all those weapons in those outfits?
I love the idea of Old Town -- a distinct switch from the "women as victim" cliche. They'll kiss you or kill you -- and you'll love every minute of it. Dwight's keeping the demon in him in check ... but just barely. Irish terrorists and a showdown in a dinosaur graveyard add a surreal element.
Smoking action and art and prose that blend into a narrative written with gunpowder and blood -- the Sin City stories keep building into a dark world you can lose yourself in.
