Pistolwhip has an excellent use of the serial format, and the fact that it is in the preferred format of original graphic novel makes this point even better. The twists and turns of the various characters (are they characters or are they actors ?) was delightfully constructed along the lines of a serial with an ensemble cast where the characters change but the cast remain the same.
We find out how the femme became fatale,
how the stooge was set up for a hit job,
and just who is writing the script.
And how he ran away from the circus.

The production of the book, as a facsimile radio/ radio manual is superb. VERY enjoyable.

I'm sorry, but I didn't think this book lived up to the hype.

I don't mind low quality art if the story is there, but the level of art in this comic is particularly low and the story doesn't excuse it. The story is good, but I'd only give it a 3. The whole comic book feels like a rough draft. As though the author had a really good idea, scratched it out fast and sloppy and intended to go back and beef up both story and art, but decided to just publish it as is.

I do not think this book as re-read potential. It just wasn't worth what I paid.

I love this book. The art is great on every page. The story will draw one in and keep him intersted all the way to the end, and it's a thick book.

Good storytelling and innovative visuals make for one of the best graphic novels in years. The twists and turns in the story will have you wanting to read it again as soon as the last page ends. Highly recommended for readers of the graphic medium as well as the more traditional readers out there.
