Incredibly witty dialogue, sharp characterization, and striking film noir style artwork make Goldfish and Jinx two thoroughly interesting protagonists and two compelling stand-alone graphic novels. A female bounty hunter, a handsome small-time grifter, and his swarmy partner search for a hidden treasure that takes them on a winding trail through the seedy underbelly of Cleveland. A treasure that is a ticket out of the city and out of "the life". This award winning crime tale is part romance, part comedy, but 100% adventure and has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of readers. This mammoth trade paperback includes all the snappy dialogue and daring film-noir art that made this story a graphic novel classic. "Dead on dialogue!

9-12?? if i had read this back then i would had probably snapped. this b&w comic book tells an incredible crime fiction story in a way no other comic has ever told one. bendis human-models based noir penciling and amazing, hyper-realistic dialogues are sure to be remembered and imitated. yet, i would read bendis' first work on this comic main character before sinking my teeth into this one, goldfish (i haven't yet read it, but i think it improves the reading of jinx -especially its end, which i'm obviously not telling-).

No redeeming value

I assumed that good literature/plot/characters/development could occur in graphic novels, but I certainly piced the wrong one. This was all about lousy thinking and poor choices and explosive outcomes. I sent it back to the distributor because it hasn't any socially redeeming value to me. Well, the graphics were remarkable, I will say that, but the story was for a 4th grader.
