3.0 out of 5 stars
For hardcore Sin City fans only,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sin City Family Values (Paperback)
Let me start by saying I'm a big Frank Miller fan, and I absolutely love "Sin City."If you have heard about how great "Sin City" is, and want to check it out, I'd recommend you read this one last. If you're going to skip one, this is the one. Basically, there's nothing to it. It had my interest early on, but then it just turns into one absurd action scene after the next. While that may sound cool, it gets old real fast. If you're a diehard "Sin City" fan, nothing I say will stop you from buying this. I don't think you'll hate it. I didn't. It's just mediocre when compared to the other "Sin City" stories.

Hard-boiled noir,

This review is from: Sin City Family Values (Paperback)
This story grabbed by the throat and dragged me, page by page, to it's surprising end. I wasn't struggling. This is a very well-done revenge story in the classic style, but built with modern pieces. The art captured the tone beautifully: harsh black and white, with the emphasis on the black. Every page is drawn in jagged, bleak contrast. Only Miho stands out, a ghostly white with draw with delicate line, and an interesting addition to the usual noir cast of characters. This is a keeper. Every time I open it, its mood grabs me all over again. Oh, and when I finished the story, I had an uncontrollable urge to watch Bogart or Cagney.

One of my favorites,
By Jared Kahanek (Waco, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sin City Family Values (Paperback)
I find myself confused as to why most people dislike Family Values so much. I found it to be extremely refeshing, and is one my favorite Dwight story. To give a few plot points, one of the girls of Old Town has been killed, and so they send Dwight and Miho out for revenge. The rest of the book covers Dwight's investigation and the inevitable retribution. The art is much looser than Miller's previous outings, but I like it. Family Values does not reach the level of the first Sin City, or That Yellow Bastard, but it is a very entertaining piece of pulp dealing with the value of family, and all the different ways that word is used.
