Each page turn iscinematic, just another reason this book might appeal to cross-platform fans ofcrime movies and TV programs, such as The Godfather or TrueDetective, as well as police procedural comics, such as Rucka's GothamCentral or Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's Powers."-Booklist
