Product Description
The first volume of the crime-comic megahit that introduced the now-infamous character Marv and spawned a blockbuster film returns in a newly redesigned edition, with a brand-new take in by Frank Miller – some of his first comics art in years! It’s a lousy room in a lousy part of a lousy town. But Marv doesn’t care. There’s an angel in the room. She says her name is Goldie. A few hours later, Goldie’s dead lacking a mark on her perfect body, and the cops are coming before anyone but Marv could know she’s been killed. Somebody paid excellent money for this frame . . . With a new look generating more excitement than ever before, this third edition is the perfect way to attract a whole new generation of readers to Frank Miller’s masterpiece!Amazon.com Review
Sin City launched the long-running, critically acclaimed series of comics novels by Frank Miller. Having worked on some of the most vital comic books in the 1980s, including Marvel Comics’s Daredevil and the influential Batman graphic novel The Dark Knight Returns, Miller was already a heavy-weight cartoonist, but he hit his stride with Sin City. It gave him the freedom that doesn’t come when effective on a name else’s characters. While the art isn’t as polished as in later books, it is in many ways the quintessential Sin City tale: tough-guy Marv finds the girl of his dreams, an incredible beauty named Goldie. But when Goldie is murdered on their first night together, Marv scours the bars and back alleys of Sin City to find her killer in hopes of avenging her death.

I usually despise the thought of censorship, but this is one work that should certainly be banned. It contributes nothing and is filled with mindless violence. If you loved this book, then there is something incorrect with you.

This book was too predicatable, I could see the plot coming miles yet to be. A huge dumb tough guy goes up against a bunch of terrible guys and cops, and he doesn’t even have a gun, all he has is his muscles and a strong tolerance for pain. You knew Goldie would turn out to be a hooker, and if that’s a spoiler for you. You need to read more fiction and/or watch more sopa operas. The characters aren’t that complex, rather two-dimensional and to make matters worse, Miller doesn’t even give a twist in the plot. For the record, there have been a number of people who aver to work for God that has done evil deeds for there own selfish purposes. The Crusades for one. So, Miller you don’t get any points from me on that one. Now for persons of you that are adage. “Hey it’s only a comic book, a huge one but a comic nonetheless.” I say, “That is BULLL!!” Read: watchmen, The Judas Contract, Future Imperfect, and The League part one and two. Oh and Elfquest and then tell me if a comic book can’t be well, this no tale piece of crap!

Frank Miller is a sick, sick, man. I respect his directing abilities, he did some excellent work on Batman and some phenomenal work on Daredevil, but this series is pretty sick. This trade is the first installment in the Sin City series that’s written and drawn by Frank Miller. The series is basically just a number of different tales based in the vile city known as Sin City *cough*Las Vegas*cough*. Before I go on, this book should only be read by the mature reader, things like cannibalism, nudity, extreme violence, and overall the bottom ring of human life are present.
Our main character is the hardly lovable tank known as Marv. Marv has no thought why, but he somehow gets some extremely hot chic named “Goldie” to sleep with him, and the whole tale is nice and touchy-fealy……. for the first three pages. The only problem is, when Marv wakes up the next mourning he finds Goldie laying next to him, dead. Of course the cops reflect Marv killed her and the rest of the book is basically Marv going on a suicide mission to send the people that killed the one woman that took pity on him for one night straight to hell. But as Marv says copious times throughout the tale, the hell that he sends Goldie’s killers to will seem like heaven after what he’ll do to them.
The tale gets very involved with us finding out about vital political facts being involved in Goldie’s death, but that doesn’t stop Marv. We follow him throughout his journeys to get to the bottom of what’s going on in Sin City, we meet Marv’s bent parole officer, a psychotic cannibal, a corrupt cardinal, and many more “colorful” characters. The tale progresses pretty nicely and the ending is painstakingly satisfying. Needless to say, the tale is told in the distinct “Miller Style” of fantastic dialogue injected with real personality.
And now my patented fourth (and or fifth) paragraph: the flaws. I’ll be the first to admit that I like Frank Miller’s art, I reflect he’s one of the best Daredevil artists of all time, but I truthfully don’t care for the art in this book at all. It’s all black and white with not one drop of color added with a lot of shadow play and white on black backgrounds. I can see the style that Miller was going for but I really don’t see why that has to punish the reader, some of the panels are very confusing and some are overly simplified. What I thought would have worked well would be the Hellboy art style of total black with levelheaded colors, it’s still got the style but it’s a lot simpler on the eyes.
So in closing, this is by no means a terrible trade but I wouldn’t recommend alternative it up unless you’re a huge Frank Miller fan. I should I also mention that Frank Miller is writing / directing a new Sin City movie that looks awesome. The movie isn’t automatically based on this trade, it’s more based on the whole series in all-purpose, but it wouldn’t be terrible to pick this one up if you’re really interested in the movie.
