CBR Review: Bullet to the Head #4

I recently reviewed Bullet to the Head #4 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Passing the halfway mark, Bullet to the Head becomes something a little different, deflating somewhat and becoming more streamlined. The complex story of hitmen and police officers in the wake of a killing had spun out of control somewhat. The cast size ballooned, connections between characters became labyrinthine, and more time was taken explaining things than things actually happening. So, Matz does something surprising to make things simple: he kills off almost everyone. It’s a needed deflating that works very nicely to give the rest of the series a more specific focus and target to drive towards."

CBR Review: Bullet to the Head #1

I recently reviewed Bullet to the Head #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "For their first crime-noir book, Dynamite Entertainment has chosen to do the English translation of the French album Du Plomb dans la Tete with this week’s Bullet to the Head #1. Since this series is the breaking up of a single work into a serial story that it was never intended to be, the structure of this first issue is off a little, but holds together better than you would think with it divided into two parts: the lead-up and execution of a murder, and the immediate aftermath with the police. It’s hard to say what the larger picture is yet, but Colin Wilson’s art carries this issue with brilliant storytelling and art."

CBR Review: The Killer #9

I recently reviewed The Killer #9 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "I watched Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samouraï last week for the fourth time. It’s the story of Jef Costello, an assassin in Paris whose employers turn on him. Coincidentally, this week marks the release of Archaia’s US publishing of the The Killer, a series about an assassin in Paris whose employers turn on him. Don’t you just love it when events line up like that?"
