Review: Amarillo

Amarillo by Juan Díaz Canales
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This review is for all 5 volumes of Blacksad read in English.

Blacksad is amazing. I played a demo of the game first, before realising there was a comic series. It is just such a pleasure to read. The historical references and similarities, the strong noir feel and the beautifully made art that just captures the action so well. It’s well-written, well-made and I can find no flaws except the fact that there isn’t more of this. The atmosphere is done perfectly, the storylines are thoughtful and intense and Blacksad is always cool.

There isn’t much more to say, is there?
