Exit Wounds by Noah Stollman, Rutu Modan

2.0

The colors are excellent! Decent pulp-mystery plot (though that doesn't seem to be the genre it's marketed under).

Can't say I love how it was told or how the characters are(n't) developed. The choice of which episodes to show and which to skip didn't seem ideal. Not much depth to the characters; it's like everyone's a supporting character, including the narrator. The family dynamics and romance(s) are simplistic caricatures. The Israel setting was interesting, but background world functions as in a melodrama—just enough to move the story forward, but not enough to really feel the world.

The drawing style seems clumsy and indecisive to me; while some panels are great, too many seem either dully photo-ref or wildly non-proportional.

Still well worth reading for the colors. Seriously. (Just like some movies are worth seeing for the cinematography.)
