David Coulson is a drifter by definition. He travels from place to place, leaving behind history and identity, bringing only enough of himself to get involved with the people he needs to get involved with. There are things no one can know about David, otherwise he won't be able to do his job. David is one of those people that roam our cities making sure destiny takes its proper course, that the bad guys get what's coming to them. His latest stop has brought him in contact with several interesting characters. Leonard, the writer cursed with visions of how people will look after they die; Celeste, the waitress with a secret of her own; and Eddie, the card sharp that David takes under his wing. What does it all add up to? Only David knows...

This review is from: One Plus One Volume 1 (Paperback)
Another great tale of people looking to make a connection only this time connections are made with all the wrong people. The main character David Coulson is an enigma, an enforcer of some sort. Perhaps a conduit would be a more appropriate analogy. He helps the wrong people meet their own end. Who is Coulson and how does he know these people? From where does his information come? And who is the girl Eddie ("the bad guy") cheats on his pregnant girlfriend with? How is she connected to Coulson (an epilogue flashback helps with this)? And what about poor Leonard who quickly befriends Coulson? This tale is a gripping page-turner that could only have been delivered as an illustrated novel. The nuances could never have been appropriately rendered in words alone. The drawing leaves a bit to be desired, though, as the figures are clunkily drawn; they remind me of the stilted flat figures found in paintings by Alex Katz and Brian Calvin, but eventually that feeling fades. I am very anxious for the next volume to come out. Definitely a good buy!
