Elizabeth A's Reviews > Abbott

Life in Detriot circa 1972 is already hard for many, and to make matters worse some grisly and frankly bizarre murders are suddenly happening. The thing is that the cops don't seem all that interested, but fear not, Elena Abbott, is going to get to the bottom of what's going on. Sure she has to deal with the expected racism and sexism, and if that wasn't enough to make her mad, there's a supernatural element at play, but no-one believes her. It's enough to make a girl chain smoke and drink her way to oblivion, but Elena has more grit than that.

I really liked the premise, the diversity on the page, and the unusual POV of this comic. The art is really good too, but the plot and dialog felt a tad clunky. Did I get all nostalgic about investigative journalism. Yes. Would I read the next volume? Yes I would. So there's that.
