Summary: Great Book - Why not both covers?
Review: This is a really nice graphic novel, and I'd expect no less from Vachss and his team of talented artists and writers. But how come we can't get the comics cover by Geof Darrow? I think Amazon should be offering both covers as a special "buy with" option (instead of the old Predator stuff!).Anyway, the book is great, the story HALF BREED is tight and tense and the drawings by Darrow just suck you into it. The differing styles in the artwork add a nice touch and seem to match the individual stories perfectly. And there really is something for everyone in this book!

Summary: Time to think
Review: You don't get it. You've never even conceived of being there. Maybe it's time for you to understand. Or try to. Taste this book. Just for a moment. Understand something you've never been near before. This is that hidden world you won't accept. That world that is just beyond your door. You can pretend it is lies, but you know in your heart that it is truth. Cry and bleed and wish and beg but never for one minute think that you can ignore this. Never for one minute think that your actions will not matter and that you cannot stop this. Be it on your soul do something godammit.

Summary: you should know
Review: You should know a few things-- I'm a biased fan of Andrew Vachss. I read everything of his that comes out as soon as it comes out. If you don't know his work, Hard Looks is the perfect introduction. You'll know immediately whether he's speaking to you or not. You should also know that there's an edition of Hard Looks available with artwork by the incredible Geoff Darrow. Darrow creates immaculately beautiful drawings that,in itself a rarity between text and image, match Vachss' prose. Stark and solid, every line suggests a weight that most artists would murder to achieve. Check that out.
