Summary: Only a drunk could write this....
Review: It's a known fact that Frank Miller is a heavy drinker and this hopeless drunk has been seen going to comic book shows with beer on his breath. This low class writer destroyed both Daredevil and Batman, and now he's produced this hopelessly muddled work and pass it off as a comic book. Nope. It's just a plotless,charecterless story. Only internet geeks like it, and it's an internet geeks whose making the movie right now.

Summary: Award-winning SIN CITY continues with new collection.
Review: Dark Horse proudly releases the latest SIN CITY collection from the master of illustrated crime fiction, Frank Miller. This new book features never-before-collected stoies in Miller's harsh, dramatic black-and-white style, with some highlighted in a special color. This volume also features new art by Miller created specially for this collection. BOOZE, BROADS, AND BULLETS collects both classic favorites and hard-to-find SIN CITY yarns, including THE BABE WORE RED; SILENT NIGHT; LOST, LONELY & LETHAL;SEX & VIOLENCE; JUST ANOTHER SATURDAY NIGHT; and more."With characters like these, [Frank Miller is] rejuvenating the vernacular American art form of comics." The New York Times "Frank Miller's Sin City series takes Raymond Chandler and - yikes! - goes one up on the nihilism. His characters are classic movie archetypes: the whore with a heart of gold, the good girlfriend turned bad, the stoic hit man. But in Miller's work the hero - or antihero - usually ends up dead." Playboy "Frank Miller's Sin City has it all: greed, corruption, sex, murder -- the things that make great stories." The Long Island Voice "Frank Miller changed the comix world forever. His stories are told with a style that locks you into his world. His art is dark and foreboding, overflowing with passion. If you haven't read anything by Frank Miller, do yourself a favor and get lost in Sin City." Spazz Magazine "[Sin City] could well be a textbook on ways to handle dense, complex, heavy-line art with no shades of gray - a daring experiment, but one Miller's well-capable of handling. Classic film fans and experimental comics fans alike will be eagerly awaiting for him to continue making this kind of magic." The Daily Iowan "At the top of crime comics' most-wanted list is Sin City, and the godfather of this genre is Frank Miller." The San Diego Union Tribune "If you like hard-boiled fiction and great art, Sin City is called for." Crime Time Magazine "The truth - not fantasy - about Frank Miller is he's not done yet. The man's still a young man. And the world is still waiting." Deseret News (Salt Lake City, UT) "[Sin City]'s engaging characters and stunning noir art make it one of the best (and best-selling) works in the comics field today." The Onion (Madison, WI) "In stark pages of black and white, Frank Miller is again re-defining what the medium is capable of, and, more importantly, breathing new life into a genre long thought dormant." Carpe Noctem "re-invented his entire genre" - SOMA, the magazine of Left Coast Culture

Summary: patently evil
Review: Miller's works might not be deliberately designed to inspire boys to go on a vigilante killing spree, but since they have no other themes than making violent attacks on criminals look cool to teenagers one wonders what else they could be for. This is one of his worst offenses. Don't show this stuff to your children, and get professional help if you enjoy it yourself.

Summary: short stories about sin city areas effective as the novels
Review: sin city is mostly known as aseries of graphc novels but this collection of short stories is one of the better sin city works. the intensity and noirish milieu of the larger works is maintained in most of the stories the one exeption fatman and little boy is effective as dark comedy. the other standouts are rats which is astory about a war crinimal who is murdered in his grimy apartment . the murderer could be a rogue nazi hunter exercising vigilante justice or it may be just a street thug the ambiguity involved makes it particularly effective. the silent night story which is virtually wordless is an effective example of comic book eperimentalism. most silent stories i comics do not work but miller uses facial expressions closeups and contrasts of black and white to inject energy and drama into what most comic book artists would have turned into a pinup collection. the lady wore red is a first rate exmple of straight forward action and the stufff with blue eyes is interesting as well. she is a compelling anti-heroine.the other stories are not at five star level and i give the series 4and one half stars but i would round it up to 5 if the originalrating is not allowed.

Summary: Very good.
Review: This is a very good colection of the shorter sin city pieces. What I like most about it is that you can see Frank Miller's art style progress to the form it's in now. Many great stories with the sadistic sin city twist. Not for the week-hearted!

Summary: Great fun for kids of all a-- well... for big kids anyway.
Review: This is by no means Millers best work, but it is definately worth picking up if you enjoy sin city. It's basically a collection of short stories, each different and not necesarrily related. The art work as always is very very good, and as always the stories are entertaining. Keep 'em coming Frank! .... no? .... oh... (drops head in sorrow). Oh well.

Summary: Enjoyable Sin City shorts
Review: This is probably my second favorite book in the Sin City series, after the original. All of them are good, but this collection of short, self-contained stories is great. Among other things, it has two stories featuring Marv, including a very powerful Christmas story called Silent Night. There's also a story about Dwight, The Babe Wore Red. It's a great, fun-filled, existential romp through the town without pity with an incredible somewhat cynical ending. Also featured are Fatman and Little Boy, Manute, and a set of characters not featured in any of the graphic novels, including an assassains guild starring Blue Eyes. If you've ever enjoyed any other Sin City stuff, buy this one. If you haven't, I would reccomend that you read the first one (Sin City) and A Dame to Kill For first, but definitely to get a hold of this one as well.

Summary: Great Read
Review: This is such an excellent comic book. I cannot wait for Robert Rodriguez's film to come out. It is going to be excellent and amazing and I don't know what else to say. Frank Miller is such a creative genius, and Rodriguez is as well, and with that cast? The movie will be great, but only because the comic was great first.
