manga: Dogs: Prelude

[meganbmoore]

Set in what appears to be the near-future, this series focuses on several killers of different types who live in the city. Mihai is a former enforcer for one of the gangs who returns to the city when his former protégée kills the boss. Badou is a chain smoking information broker who gets maniacal and trigger happy when deprived of his cigarettes

Bullets and Carnage is in fact more cohesive - the original volume is just like, character introductions. On the downside, Bullets and Carnage has a very difficult to follow plot. (Also Mihai's role is reduced somewhat, which makes me sad, because HOT OLD DUDE! Hot old dudes are kinda rare in manga...)

Less Mihai does make me very sad.

Hmm...I think the only things (aside from a few US comics) I won't read because of the art are a couple series that tended to randomly draw women with see through clothes anytime they went 2 pages without finding a way to take her clothes off, and books with the artstyle that tends to always draw people looking tired and sweaty, which I think is supposed to make them look sexy, but makes me think they need ashower and nap. And I think the only thing I read for the art is Bride of the Water God.
