Review

ACCLAIM FOR TUMOR!

"This tragic and hard nosed noir adventure is one of those reads where you just can't wait to read the next chapter." - Aint It Cool News

"Fialkov's razor sharp dialogue flows into Tuazon's expressive washy art like a shiv between your ribs. Pure noir heaven!" - Jeff Lemire, Creator of the Essex County Trilogy and Vertigo's Sweet Tooth

"A private investigator, a seedy underworld, time jumps, hidden connections- It feels like I'm reading the bastard nephew of MEMENTO in comic form - only cooler." - Jonathan Hickman Creator of The Nightly News, writer of Fantastic Four

Product Description

Frank Armstrong has an inoperable brain tumor that's killing him. In his final days, with his body, senses, and mind failing him, he's going to do the one thing that he's never been able to do before -- save the girl.

Chapter Four finds Frank and Evelyn on the run and seeking refuge from the storm they've both created. It's up to Frank to pull himself together and protect Evelyn from her father and the police who want her dead.

TUMOR is a dark Los Angeles noir from the Harvey Award nominated creators of the critically acclaimed ELK'S RUN.

4.0 out of 5 stars More story and self-awareness of the main character, October 12, 2009

This review is from: Tumor Chapter 4 (Kindle Edition)

I remain a big fan of this series. This chapter takes us further into the main character's motivation and illustrates his awareness of his "problem." I took one star off as I would have liked to see more use of the signature element of the series. Truthfully, not sure how it would work into the story, but would have loved to see it anyway. I should add that there seemed to be a bit more content in this chapter compared to previous chapters. Sounds great to me. More Tumor makes me a happy reader. Where else can you get 4 chapters of a unique comic for less than $3? It's a no-brainer. I simply cannot believe that more people are not reviewing this series (and highly).
