Comic Report: Sin City: Family Values


Dwight and Miho are back, and there's killin' to be done!

Dwight does the ladies of Old Town a favor, and Miho tags along 'cause she likes to kill people while wearing Rollerblades.

The plot ... ah hell, who cares about the plot -- Miho's killin' people! It involves a underworld war, a bunch of trigger-happy Mafia, a dog, a hooker, and ... well, it doesn't matter much anyway.

Dwight gets some good moments, such as when he tells a nosy female cop to "spank me and call me Belinda. That's what Douglas does!" Or when he comforts a broken-down, alcoholic prostitute who calls him her "angel." But mostly, this is about blood, guts and more blood.

This is a quick 120-page or so read, but after That Yellow Bastard, it was a letdown.
