Note: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in order to give it a review that is free from excessive bias.

I like the way that color is used in this comic: It feels noir and the pastels of California don't actually take away from that, but rather, add a melancholic touch. Nothing gets over-explained and the plot runs on "vibes". If you're still onboard with that then prepare yourself for a well done version of that. ( )

Ethan Reckless takes a missing person case and finds himself entangled in a quest for revenge. Another solid entry for the series, but a time jump combined with a looming death that has previously been revealed makes it more a depressing reflection than a thrilling adventure.

And the ending scene is such a disproportionate response, it reminds me of the 1980's Punisher shooting jaywalkers in Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #82. Or maybe Judge Dredd, "I am the law!" ( )
