It's annoying that neither Miller nor the publishers have provided anything new here – indeed, there are whole characters and plot arcs for the film that are brand new, but we're left gasping for any such fresh sequential art. There were seven whole comic books – and sometimes quite thick and meaty ones – to delve into for the original, but they pretty much left the first sequel in the series alone, meaning the imminent movie is more or less going to cover the contents of this book, rereleased for the occasion. We had it good when the first Sin City movie came out, for the creators could make a compound story out of material both old and new. She's stifled in a loveless, violent marriage, trapped in a gated villa with her husband and his man mountain of a bodyguard, and only Dwight has the flutter in her heart and the iron in his fist and gut to make things right for her. But now it's all going to be much harder, for Ava has come back. She was Dwight's, but now she's not, and he's forced to ignore his photojournalism career in favour of his night-time job of photographing evidence for adultery cases, and to struggle to stay away from the fags and off the booze. With that repeated refrain we're forcibly given Dwight's viewpoint and made to agree with it. Summary: A more than welcome reissue for this classic noir comic, certainly making an adult title and definitely bringing the noir tropes to the pages of sequential art.Īva.
