Cons: Hard to distinguish between some of the CIA operatives (perhaps a consequence of my low-res review copy?), lots of goofy action-movie tropes, written by people who like to draw/look at boobs, i.e.: https://www.reluctantm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/dubai1.png Seriously? She takes off her coat and there they are? WHY ARE YOU NOT WEARING A BRA CHAZMA (that's her name)? With knockers that size, you need a bra. Here she is a frame before: https://www.reluctantm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/dubai2.png where we can see her coat's furry collar between her head and the dude behind her. And then, next frame, coat off, and: https://www.reluctantm.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/dubai1.png gravity-free boob city! Then there are like five more frames after this just so we can stare at her boobs. (Not even mentioning that this is a surgical suite and she walks in right off the street with her clothes, no sterilization, and then promptly receives non-life-saving (i.e. there was time to properly sterilize and put on a hospital gown) surgery to her face, so why is she topless?) How long until my blog devolves into just me posting photos from comic books with bad female anatomy? People who write comics, you do understand that there aren't special spacial dimensions that exist solely around breast tissue, right? Right? Because I'm starting to believe that you guys don't understand how breasts work at all. Or maybe she has implants and they are hard as rocks with steel reinforcements to keep them up. I don't know. Ghost Money: Death in Dubai by Thierry Smolderen and Dominique Bertail Lee went on sale July 31, 2018. I received a copy free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

The artwork is fine.
The story progresses nicely.
But the story is shit and full of cliches. The americans are evil, sadistic and worse. The arabs are the noble desert people. Somehow they talk about 9/11 but fail to acknowledge who is responsible for thousands of deaths! (
