5.0 out of 5 stars this tumor grows on you, July 28, 2009

By	Glen C. Creason (Los Angeles, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dark and deliciously gritty, chapter one of Tumor introduces us to the strangely sympathetic sinking ship of Frank Armstong, one-time ace detective. Frank is beyond world weary and seems to only ask to be put out of his misery except for a last mission he accepts to find a missing girl between blackouts, flashbacks and hallucinations brought on by "the tumor". The plot unfolds cleverly from two angles at once and propels the reader toward an unpredictable denoument.
Fialkov, a terrific storyteller has a way with brisk, brutally straightforward dialogue and Noel Tuozan creates the dark mood that makes the words throb on the page. While Armstong is certainly ready for the wrecking yard he still has a code of honor hidden wiithin the wreck of a shell of a man inside his gabardine suit. I really can't wait to see just how badly this all turns out.

This was the first comic I viewed on my new Kindle 2--I chose it because it was free. The comic is great. I was worried about it being formatted for the larger DX, but once I found out you could zoom in using the 5-way controller, it became quite comfortable to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crime Noir, December 5, 2009

Very well written crime noir graphic novel. The dialogue and story are both excellent and the black and white artwork is perfect for this style of GN.

This is an adult graphic novel, yet the F word felt overused in this chapter, but it gets fine tuned in future chapters.

If you are worried about the quality of this book, since it is a Kindle only release don't be. This GN is on a par with any release in paper format. I am up to chapter 4 and loving it.

One caveat, it is unreadable on the regular Kindle as it is too small. But if you have a Dx or Kindle for pc give it a try.
