A bounty goes out to bring a mafia don's bride back home and a bunch of bounty hunters and hit men go after her. Obviously, Victor Santos is a big fan of Frank Miller's Sin City. However, this feels like a poor imitation. There are so many characters that is almost impossible to keep track of who's who. Especially if they don't have an eye patch to distinguish them. The art just isn't detailed enough. The whole book is basically one big battle royale. Meh.Received an advance copy from Dark Horse...
It was confusing and too boring for story, reminded me of a battle Royale for bounty hunters. Ugh, the other two were better.
I read an electronic copy of this one. Maybe because of that, it was a bit confusing. I enjoyed it nonetheless.
"you can't live surrounded by death without being a little tainted by the darkness" This is by far the most ambitious volume. I acknowledge the evolution of the story and of the art, even though the latter hasn't quite struck me the way it has in the previous two volumes. Maybe because I couldn't quite plunge into the story.I must admit that as the chronicles of the Black Kaiser come to an end, I was not disappointed, at all.
Artwork is very stylized and cool, I can't help think about John Wick with the story, this would make an awesome film adaption, such a great read.
A hefty bounty for the wet worker who retrieved a runaway mob princess draws out every top assassin in he world, who converge upon a lonely nunnery in the backwoods of Europe. The battle royals that follows is fun for its sheer bedlam, but offers little in terms of actual story. The art, as always is both derivative and often confusing, though it does have its flashes of brilliance.
a great end for this amazing trilogy !!!!
Certainly the most ambitious of the Polar volumes-- the art makes it difficult to parse out story details from time to time. Also the writing is sometimes remedial/amateurish. That said, still EXTREMELY entertaining.
Another fun entry in the "Polar" series that finds the Black Kieser and numerous other assassins gunning for Sister Maria, the young wife of a mob boss who has tried to seek redemption by joining the church. Victor Santos keeps the story simple and brutal, along with the art, which is crisply drawn in black, white and red. Like the previous entries, the story is a bit shallow, but still makes for a fun read and one of the more innovative comics in recent years.
