I'll probably check out the next volume because I like the main character, but there were a few too many stereotypes in this story, and I'm not sure I like the direction or level of darkness. One more should decide me.

Mark Shiffron is a postman in Eden, Wyoming, and like Christopher in The Curious Incident of the Dog in Nighttime, Mark has Asperger Syndrome. His mother is the mayor of their (secret) small town where no crime is “permitted,” populated entirely by fugitive criminals. When a woman gets murdered Mark is determined to find out who did it, something similar to what happens to Christopher in Curious Incident, crimes must be solved, and they become Asperger-ishly Sherlock Holmes (or is that redundant...

This was pretty good. A little reminiscent of Stephen King or something equally weird.Basically a town full of criminals that want to keep their existence low key and try to live normally. But you know how that goes.Not sure if I want to bother with the next volume. I don't know that I actually got anything out of this. But I did like two of the characters well enough.

A very different Comic, with the lead character a strange young man who is a postman in a town that is not that normal, Eden is a town of criminals, where they come to behave!nice story line,good artgreat lead character and some twists and some cliffhangers that will no doubt be covered off in up coming issues.decent book.worth a read as it is slightly different!!

This book is on the border for me between two and three stars. A generic crime noir is made mildly interesting by the lead and his romantic interest. I'll give it another volume to fully win me over.

A interesting start, with lots of twist. however, the twist are pretty easy to see coming.

Solid story with a lot of potential. Eden is a town funded and run by criminals. Our main character is the mayor's son, Mark, a postal worker with Aspergers. Each of our characters have their secrets except Mark. Mark sees a lot that others don't and uses his ability to help others. Goodheart's art is fine, but nothing exceptional.

Ever heard of a novel called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time? Came out about ten years or so ago and became a bestseller. It was about a kid with Asperger’s Syndrome who sees his neighbour’s dog dead and decides to figure out who killed it and why. Since then other popular characters with Asperger’s have sprung up like Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory and Don Tillman in The Rosie Project books (who’s arguably derivative of Sheldon Cooper). Writers Matt Hawkins and Bryan Hi...

I didn’t know much of this story when I picked up this volume. All I knew was that it dealt with a town filled with criminals trying to live peacefully, but I had heard that it was great from various people, and it was, but I was not prepared for the interesting topics that were discussed here. I painted it to be a simple noir tale, it was much more than that. It follows a postal worker, Mark Shiffron, whose mother, Dana Shiffron, is the mayor of the town after the previous leader was “banished,...

3.5 stars . This was not bad at all but it could definitely use some more depth plot-wise.

[Updated 8/7/18 with my spoiler-free thoughts on the first six volumes.]I'm six volumes into Postal, and I've been in a perpetual state of terror for the main character the whole time. It's amazing how effectively this creative team is messing with me! The main character's name is Mark Shiffron. His mother is the mayor of Eden, Wyoming, a secret small town populated entirely by fugitive criminals. When a murder happens in this town with a zero-tolerance policy for crime within its borders, Mark

Mark is a very complex character, rarely found in comics.It's rather suspenseful not knowing whether his Asperger condition is going to be beneficial or bring him trouble.Honestly not sure where all this is going but I'm eager to find out.

I'm thinking 3.5 I'm not sure whether to round up or down, so I am not going to add a star rating yet. This is a pretty cool graphic novel. I liked the story-line for the most part, although a few parts seemed a tad far-fetched. The main character is interesting because he has Asperger's Syndrome, so his narration of the story is definitely unique. The ending is a perfect set-up for the next volume, which I kinda like; sometimes graphic novels end more definitively, with the next volume starting...

Another Matt Hawkins hit.A town of criminals living peaceful faces its past.Intriguing,funny and has a cast of interesting characters.

Bullet Review:I rather enjoyed this. No, I greatly enjoyed this. From the first page, it really hooked me, and I couldn't stop reading. I liked the characters (Mark, Roy, Dana, Maggie), even if they were a bit stereotypical (particularly Maggie). The story is also pretty intriguing; I definitely want to know what happens next.My coworker picked out a good one for me finally! :)

This was alright. Enjoyable story. I didn't really agree with the portrayal of Asperger's in the main character. Very stereotypical in a negative way. It's an interesting story though, and the villain seems pretty cool. I like the idea of a new Eden ran by criminals.

Eden, Wyoming is a town populated by criminals of all shapes and sizes. They have turned their lives around and have made the small town seem like any other. Though they do execute the people who have done them wrong. The priest, the mayor and the sheriff don't shy away from making undesirables go away.Their quiet world gets shaken by a dead body. Mark the mailman has Asperger's Syndrome and is attracted to Maggie the waitress, the closest thing he has to a friend. They want to investigate the c...

The mystery of Mark's father gets a bit less mysterious and the story is really going somewhere now. In the previous issues, it was building up to something and it still is, but you can see that we're almost over the hill and getting the story it was building up to in the first 2 issues. The art is great, I love the coloring. And Mark as always shines. He's a great character and his interactions with people and the world around him are great to see! I highly recommend this series and look forwar...

I'm glad to be finally branching out to other graphic novels that aren't the Saga series. I liked the premise of this graphic novel, and I liked that I was branching out to a different genre: more spooky, scary, murder and mystery.POSTAL brings readers into the fictional town of Eden, Wyoming, a place founded by criminals for criminals. A place where, despite its inhabitants, no crime is allowed. Local postman Mark Shiffron has Asperger's, and through his peculiar eyes we see a town struggling

Fun, but not very memorable
