Family

[Colin YNWA]

After finishing Case Files 1 I had time to quickly read Rob Williams and Simon Fraser's Family. Its funny that Simon Fraser is the co-creator here as it reads like a condensed version of Dante focusing on the Romanov's veiled in a Mob story.

That reads like its a bad thing, far blooming from it. It was a superb read, loved it. Nice tight stuff with loads packed in and well deserving of a stand alone product like this. It was only in hindsight that it struck me how few characters were actually involved. Williams gets a hell of a well paced, intriguing mob political struggle out of a very small cast that makes the story feel more epic than it had any right to.

One thing I'm curious about is it took me a wee while to get into. In this format that's fine, 20 odd pages in and I'm sold. In 'real' time that was 3 parts and three months and I might have been really struggling with it?  Oh and is it just me or is there a little of the Will Simpson's in Simon Fraser's art?

A hit.
