review:
'Vigilante: Southland #1' by Gary Phillips caught my eye based on the description, but I should have probably kept on looking. This book is kind of a mess.
Donny is an ex-athlete who spends his days shooting hoops and getting high. His girlfriend Dorrie is more politically active and tries to get Donny involved. He doesn't get involved in time to help her, and now he's trying to find out what happened to her along with his estranged father. He finds out something about her that may help him in his fight for justice.
And it's a big mess. The plot kind of jumps around. The racial stereotypes abound. The whole thing feels like it could have been written in the 1990s. It feels that dated. The art isn't bad, and I was hoping it would deliver more based on the premise, but I was wrong, and I'm disappointed.
I received a review copy of this issue from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this issue.
