 [su_quote cite="Matthew's Thoughts"]This art is wholly inappropriate for the story being told, and the coloring is strangely garish for a noir story. The story feels like a boilerplate detective tale, which makes me wonder if the scripts it's being adapted from was actually complete or not. Collins has the voice and the tough-guy dialogue down, though... [/su_quote][su_quote cite="Stephen's Thoughts"]There's a reason why Spillane's books are so controversial. Titan Comics takes a story that should have been left untold and told it, complete with art that looks more like a weird DAZ 3D comics than what you normally expect. Still, if you like hard crime tales where the hero isn't afraid of taking down anyone who is on the wrong side of the law, then Mike Hammer is the hero for you.[/su_quote]
