Matador #6

Matador #6
I know that this is old, but I just finally got around to reading it. And boy does it suck. It's just indescribably AWFUL. I think that Devin Grayson was going for some sort of noirish bad guys win, good guy loses ending, ala Sin City, but she just can't manage to pull it off. Instead, it just dies there on the page like a freshly caught fish. It flops around a bit, offering potential for satisfying resolution, but it just dies. Ugh. As good as the first five issues were, this final issue just ruins the entire story completely. If you want satisfying cop drama, read Powers or collected trades of Gotham Central. If you want crime noir and corruption, read Sin City. If you want CRAP, read this.
