Great art and dialogue make for an entertaining read in this gripping pastiche of 70s conspiracy thrillers. Normandy makes a kick ass heroine and whilst the plot isn't that original it did keep me gripped. ( ) The creators claim to be inspired by 1970s cinema like Dirty Harry and Taxi Driver, but this work seems to skew more strongly to 70's exploitation fare. The plot is simple enough: to avenge her sister, a small town sheriff becomes a high-end Washington, D.C., prostitute (please note: she doesn't go undercover; she just becomes a prostitute, NBD) and randomly assaults and kills people consequence free until she feels she comes close enough to the right one to call it a day. If this was supposed to be over the top satire, I feel like I missed the wink. It seems to play out earnestly if nonsensically. I was a little thrown when the likenesses of Robert Redford, Sam Elliott and Robert McNamara were used for some of the side characters, but the creators actually have a two-page spread laying out all the celebrities they used, including a whole bunch I missed. It made me remember the time singer Amy Grant sued Marvel for drawing her on one of their covers: https://www.cbr.com/when-doctor-stranges-girlfriend-was-amy-grant/. I hope the celebrities used here have more of a sense of humor. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
