Review

ACCLAIM FOR TUMOR! "This hard edged detective story reminiscent of D.O.A. and MEMENTO is getting better from one chapter to the next...This is a heartbreaking tale that can't end well, but I’m still rootin' for Frank to solve the case." Aintitcoolnews.com "Josh Fialkov knows the way forward, and here's TUMOR to prove it. The Kindle's going to change the way a lot of people read comics, and what better way to get the ball rolling than with an oddball, hard-boiled detective story from two great talents? Excellent stuff." – Antony Johnston, Creator of Wasteland "Anyone who cares to know me also knows I hold Joshua Fialkov's work in high regard, and they'll be shocked to learn that I think Tumor puts everything that came before it in the dirt. Fialkov and Tuazon effortlessly show all the hard boiled posers and dried up hacks who think they know noir just how weak their sauce really is. When I finished chapter one all I could muster was an envious, 'Sons of bitches.'" – Phil Hester, Creator of Deep Sleeper, The Coffin, and The Atheist

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough to continue coming up with accolades for this series, November 12, 2009

This review is from: Tumor Chapter 5 (Kindle Edition)

After another couple of chapters of this series, I will have to break out the thesaurus because I am running out of ways to describe how engrossing this series has become. This chapter was a pleasure to read and had me flipping pages as fast as I could to find out what happened. Continuing to find out Frank's backstory and motivation, and mingling that with his unique "problem" continues to impress me. I simply can't get enough of this series. Keep em coming!!
