One of the comics that our friends at Variant Comics recommended that everyone read is the Sin City run. I just read “A Hard Goodbye” and I do remember much of this from watching the Sin City movie. Sin City is a collection of comics with different stories that tie together. After reading one series, in the next you will see the characters cross paths, and it is a really cool concept.

This comic, just like the movie it inspired, is wild and full of intense moments. No wonder the Frank Miller series gave Quentin Tarantino the vision to make this into a film.

Right from the beginning, there is murder, mystery, and a lot of action. This character Marlon is a powerhouse. He is huge, strong, and almost seems to have superhuman strength. The man can take a bullet or several and still keep going. The guy is nearly unstoppable. I immediately became a fan of this character.

So he meets a woman, and somehow she gets killed while with him. As you might expect, they try to frame him for the murder, and he goes on a mission to not only avenge her but to prove his innocence as well. Though if you are familiar with Sin City, you know full well that there is no happy ending coming here.

I enjoyed this read very much and I totally understand why it made the Variant top recommended list. Now it is my turn to highly recommend it. Though it is fairly old and the art style is a bit different, you will definitely enjoy this series. I know I did.
