You like your Big Apples rotten to the core and full of maggots - each packing pistols? Well then: this one is for you - a comic that's about what happens when a mafioso forgets about loyalty and goes gunning for revenge. This is not about good versus evil: just who's left standing at the end. Full of over-the-top gangster action where none of the characters can be trusted and everyone has an angle and a price and a main character who's as dirty and dangerous as the people he's fighting against- it's not subtle and you won't stay in your head after you've put it down - but it's an outlandish and crazy ride while it lasts. The artwork is a bit off - the poses are kinda awkward and it has this strange kind of computery effect over it - but what the hell: it gets the job done so whatever: Fergetaboutit. etc.
