Gambling, boxing, nightclubs, double-crosses, all kinds of shenanigans and over-the-top-characters. I was expecting noir and gritty, but this is actually more madcap and ridiculous. It won't change your life, but I had a good time reading it.
A look at some lowlife types in the boxing and gambling worlds. Nicely delivered.Stan is an ex-boxer trying to reconnect with friends and family and make up for past mistakes. He has plans which have to change as the other characters interact in a variety of ways. The plot is enjoyable and fast-paced, the characters well-developed and the artwork clear, detailed and fun.This comic collection is recommended to all lovers of a well-told story.
Stanley Dance je vyslouzilej boxer a typek, kterej v zivote podelal spoustu lidi, vcetne svy rodiny. I tak je to ale sympatak a kdyz se vraci do Vegas, aby vsechno srovnal a naposled vlezl do ringu, tak mu vlastne clovek fandite. Oddechova zabava s fajn postavama a paradni, neokoukanou kresbou.
Grabbed a digital ARC from Image on a whim. This isn't really my normal speed but the art was consistently well-drawn and I think anyone who likes Vegas or a "middle-aged sleazeball tries to make good" narrative would enjoy this. It wasn't deep but it was engaging.
Panosian crafted both the story and the art on this one. It’s an ode to Las Vegas, gambling, revenge, grudge matches, nightclubs, and most of all to the science of boxing 🥊.
A pulpy tale with some humour. Enjoyable.
The story is nothing new. Luggable loser tries to make amends even tho it all would have worked out without him. I liked the art most. Like some of MAD magazines...
A good story but just left wanting a little bit more
Kind of a quirky little story. It had some interesting surprises. The characters all seemed a little too much like stock characters from an old Vegas movie, but I found this entertaining nonetheless.
I'm kinda sick of these weird redemptions stories for fathers especially pos like this guy. He abandons his wife and child, sleeps with his best friends wife, and its a user in every sense of the word but it's okay because he fixes it. Admitting a problem is only the first step in solving the problem. The 3 stars is just for the illustrations alone. The story is unoriginal but the art is visceral.
When Lady Luck and Stan dance like the devil in the pale moonlight
Boxing books' one-last-fight stereotypes? Check. Sleazy Vegas venue runners against each other? Check. Twisty story examining how bad a man has to get before any good comes out of it? Check. Yes, this is fairly by-the-numbers, but it's not all that bad really. Little to fault here, if you like the bitty structuring, and some meh characters here and there. Worth a look. Three and a half goodreads stars.
Les is not really a scumbag, as he was presented to me before reading. He's rather a charismatic freeloader, lucky person who somehow swims through the life like there are no consequences. He's the only one who matters. He's not really an evil person, he just loves to enjoy the life with a minimum struggle - most of all he's irresponsible. He's a misfit. But Les want to change that and that's the story of Slots. Coming back and sorting out both his "loved ones" and enemies.Looking back, the stor...
“Slots” è un vero e proprio romanzo urbano che, pur sfruttando la narrazione grafico-letteraria del fumetto, si impegna a presentare una storia di decadenza e riscatto. Ogni protagonista di Dan Panosian ha un background ben delineato e delle caratteristiche che lo rendono unico. Indipendentemente dallo spazio occupato sulla pagina o dalle battute riservategli, i protagonisti (eroi o antagonisti che siano) rimarranno impressi nell’immaginario del lettore risultando perfettamente bilanciati nell’e...
