Blue as the day is long...
Recommendation: Yes!
This is one blue comic. And that is not just based on the feathers floating down on the cover, though that is a nice touch. Adult themes, language, violence, etc. abound. So, as you can imagine, it is not for the faint of heart.
It is for me though. I loved it.
It is perfectly gritty.
The art is fantastic. The writing, is well, as you would expect. I mean, they don’t have a comic convention called MorrisonCon for nothing.
So, from the perspective of someone who mostly reads superhero books, this is a nice refreshing step sideways, and then off the deep end. It is a great mobster, corrupt cop, shoot ‘em up book.
Oh, did I mention the blue unicorn? It has one of those too.
One of the nice features, as many have pointed out, is that it is a self-contained 4-issue mini-series. This makes for a perfect, inexpensive piece of entertainment. And as far as I can tell, the pacing is perfect.
So, if you are in the mood for “violent and vulgar”, and a little weird, head down to your local comic shop and ask for “Happy!” - I am pretty sure it will leave you entertained.
