There should DEFINITELY be a sequel to this gem. Vol.1 indicates there were at least supposed to be others to follow. I'm STILL waiting!

This book is great fun, whether you're a comics aficionado, a film-noir junkie, a fan of samurai flicks, or a bit of all three. The titular hero has a distinctive, tongue-in-cheek voice that effortlessly carries the story; the writing is peppered with wry asides and witty one-liners that add humor to the dark tale of revenge and manipulation. The art is also fantastic, done in a shadow-heavy style which is vaguely reminiscent of Frank Miller's "Sin City".

This one comes highly recommended for anyone with an interest in the above-mentioned genres, or for anyone who's looking for a comic that's not just the same-old same-old. "Sam Noir: Samurai Detective" is fresh, it's fun, and it'll pull you in.
