Very sensitive people might be slightly shocked by Sin City
If I said that this is the most hard-boiled, unsentimental, brutal, and shocking graphic novels I've ever read I would not lie. The black and white illustrations give that extra hard edge to the already hard story. Marv is a psycho, he hears voices in his head, he needs constant medication, he is a a contract killer, and he is the hero of the story! The villains are even worse. What makes Marv different from the bad guys is that he follows a strict code of honour. When a woman in his company is murdered he gets out for revenge. As the bodies pile up he finds himself deeper and deeper in the murky secrets of Sin Cities ruling elite. The final revelation and Marv's redemption cannot fail to leave anyone shaken to the core. I could not read the story in one go, I had to take breaks to digest it all.
