In spite of its violent and bloody action, this graphic novel holds you tight. Mob shootings, vicious assignations, bloody interactions and fearful consequences could not turn me away from the riveting series of events so stunningly realized by the artist and the writer of the text. Instead of the graphic novel suffering because I had recently seen the movie made from the book, the text and images added to the considerable impact of the film. The stunning ending wraps all this up and gently hands it to you.
