January's Comic gesserit really recommends against Not Reading torrent

Q: Huh?

A: This is both an individualized continuation of the "Recommended Reading Round-up"
project and my debut contribution to http://thepiratebay.se/user/STFmaryville 's
"Not Reading" initiative. Which merging of concepts I actually managed to cram
into the title, after a fashion, at the price of an (even for me) unusually high
degree of grammatical-convolution-per-character density. :P


Q: So, what's on the menu this month?

A: The first Dark Horse volume of Victor Santos' "Polar", aka "Black Kaiser".

You'll probably like this if you already like any of the following:

- Ian Fleming's "James Bond" books and/or the resultant movies;
- Frank Miller's "Sin City" books;
- the Hard-Boiled/Noir genre, generally speaking;
- the "Show, Don't Tell" principle, even more generally speaking.

You'll *definitely* like this if you liked the premise of Warren Ellis' "RED"
(and/or the resultant movies, I suppose, considering that the premise is pretty
much all they have in common), but found his execution a bit lacking and trite.

(My favourite page, both for the elegant paneling and because it's the lead-in
to a strikingly story-boarded sequence of scrumptiously squicky slaughter.)
