Review

"Utterly original and completely addictive." - Duane Swierczynski, author of Severance Package and The Wheelman

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.

The final chapter finds Frank face to face with Gibson, pleading for Evelyn's life, while reliving every pain filled moment of the final moments of his wife's life. With no time left, and reality fading, Frank has one last chance to do his job.

TUMOR is a dark Los Angeles noir from the Harvey Award nominated creators of the critically acclaimed ELK'S RUN, Joshua Hale Fialkov and Noel Tuazon.

Tumor wraps up here in Chapter Eight, and it is a well-written conclusion to a great story. Fialkov has written a great noir thriller that is at the same time so much more than that. His characters show growth and development, and his plot is extremely satisfying. This is a must read for graphic novel fans, as well as fans of crime fiction.

This review is from: Tumor Chapter 8 (Kindle Edition)

While I like the art and the story in this series, it is poorly designed for viewing on the Kindle or iPad. Unlike other comic books, it does not go page by page but panel by panel. You can't see the other panels when you want to view one and that is disconcerting since a comic book/graphic novel relies on the connections between the panels. I told this to the publishers at their Comic-Con 2010 San Diego booth but they seemed totally uninterested in correcting it.
