For all the hype from the writer’s and artist’s friends you’d expect the second coming of Ed Brubacker, but what you get is about on the level of a high school newspaper cartoon strip. Worse, either Fialkov and Tuazon have never heard of THE SINGING DETECTIVE or hope their readers haven’t. Beginner’s Level.

This may seem like an odd review, but I’d like to start with Josh and Noel’s last collaborative effort, ELK’S RUN. In the interest of full disclosure I should say that I edited ELK’S RUN. In fact, I’ve worked with Josh and Noel on three different books, so it’s safe to say I’m a fan of these two and that my review could seem a bit skewed. I’ll let you be the judge of that – for now, ELK’S RUN.
I loved ELK’S RUN – it was Josh’s baby but it became my baby, as well. I like having my name on a book that, even looking back at it several years later, seems to represent the best work you could get out of a group of creators. Josh’s tale was epic and well-crafted. Noel’s art was crisp and clean and inventive when it needed to be. And Scott Keating’s colors elevated the work to the upper-echelon of modern adult genre comics. I honestly didn’t reflect that Josh and Noel could possibly produce a product that is in any way, shape, or form better than ELK’S RUN. And that’s partly ego, sure, but it was my mindset when I sat down and read TUMOR. TUMOR may be as excellent as ELK’S RUN, but it’ll never be better.
And then I read TUMOR. And, honestly, it does it for me in ways that ELK’S RUN didn’t. I wish I could have worked on this book. It’s incredible to see how these two artists have grown together. Noel’s watercolors compliment and juxtapose his high-contrast inking – it purposely keeps the reader off-balance while providing a cohesive sequential narrative to a well-designed, non-linear tale. Josh’s tale is forceful – a bit of MOMENTO dropped into an ancient school Noir with a modern update – and the dialog and pacing is fresh and energetic.
It’s a refreshing tale. Well-grounded, mysterious, action-packed, cinematic – it’s what adult genre comics should be striving for. It’s obvious that the folks at Archaia gave Josh and Noel free reign on this project; they allowed them to play with the art form, take risks, and produce something that’s wholly original and necessary for comics.
I don’t know if this is a excellent endorsement for you or a terrible one. I honestly can’t bring myself to say that this project is better than ELK’S RUN, they’re two different types of books entirely and it wouldn’t be honest to compare them, but I can say that I’m really jealous of this book. But I’m looking past that jealousy and giving this book the five-stars it deserves.
But this chapter is free. Whether you reflect I’m biased or not, there should be nothing that stops you from downloading it and seeing it for yourself. I just needed to get it all out there. I didn’t want to be the guy that pretends to be a name who has no attachment to these creators whatsoever in an attempt to get you to try this book. Besides, I personally reflect it’s a stronger review if it’s coming from the guy who had high expectations for the creators and an ego on the line if they place something together that’s even remotely comparable to one of my babies.
Josh and Noel are two fantastic creators that simply work fantastic together, regardless of who’s editing them. Ego, you have been humbled.

Full disclosure: I know Josh and have worked with him on WESTERN TALES OF TERROR, so that might make me a small biased. But I can count how long I’ve been a comic reader in decades, so I reflect that gives me a levelheaded thought of what makes a excellent comic. And TUMOR is shaping up to be a fantastic comic.
Right off the bat, we’re introduced to Frank Armstrong, LA private investigator carrying around the title character in his noggin. He’s one terrible headache away from the grave when he gets questioned to find a mobster’s missing daughter. And not only could he drop dead at any moment, but the time he’s got left on this planet is broken up by tumor-induced spasms and hallucinations. So he’s got that going for him.
Josh and artist Noel Tuazon take their collaboration on ELK’S RUN even further with TUMOR. This opening chapter is a real page-turner (or clicker, I guess…) that reads as sharp and exciting as any noir I’ve read. And I’ve read reasonably a few.
And the best part? It’s free. Not free like junk-mail free; free like finding-a-five-dollar-bill-in-an-ancient-jacket-pocket free. Because like the money, this is worth something. Worth your time and worth your consideration. Highly recommended!

I wanted to get a Kindle because I was looking forwards to finally seeing what all the fuss was about on TUMOR. This is what people are getting hot and bothered about? I’ve seen greater character depth in three panels of BAZOOKA JOE. I like comics, but if I flipped through this at my local shop on a Wednesday night, it’d go right back on the shelf. FAIL.

Very well written crime noir graphic novel. The dialogue and tale are both brilliant and the black and white artwork is perfect for this style of GN.
This is an adult graphic novel, yet the F word felt overused in this chapter, but it gets fine tuned in future chapters.
If you are apprehensive about the quality of this book, since it is a Kindle only relief don’t be. This GN is on a par with any relief in paper format. I am up to chapter 4 and loving it.
One caveat, it is unreadable on the regular Kindle as it is too tiny. But if you have a Dx or Kindle for pc give it a try.
