review:

Old City Blues Volume 2 by Giannis Milonogiannis feels like a reprint from the 90s. It's got a retro cyberpunk feel that throws me right back into those days, but it's a new series that harkens back to the comics and stories of that time.



The story takes place in New Athens which is built on the country once known as Greece. Solano is a hard-hitting cop who is harder on sleek patrol cars. He has a crew of Espers and computer hackers helping him stop crime. The enemies are high tech criminals using robots and cybersuits. There are corrupt criminals, corrupt cops, mech smugglers and drug dealers. Standing in their way is Solano.



Volume 2 contains two story arcs. The art is black and white, but has a lot of cross hatching and textures to it, so it's a bit busy and sometimes hard to figure out what is going on. I liked it and it made me feel nostalgic and want to find my old William Gibson novels.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
