By Kody Chamberlain
I picked this up from Chamberlain's
table at New Orleans Comic Con a couple months ago and just read it
last week. I really enjoyed it, both on its own terms as a gritty
murder mystery, and as an atmospheric snapshot of New Orleans in the antediluvian days when Hurricane Katrina was bearing down on the city. Chamberlain is an
independent comic creator who I think has a lot of potential and a
bright future ahead of him. I would love to see him on one of the
more down-to-earth, street-level Batman
titles. Maybe this story being awarded the 2011 Spinetingler Award for Best Mystery/Crime Comic or Graphic Novel will make the
powers-that-be sit up and take notice of him.
Cheers!
