review:
'Blue Note: The Final Days of Prohibition Volume 1' by Mathieu Mariolle with art by Mikael Bourgouin is a tale about a down and out ex-boxer making a comeback in the final days of bootleg booze.
Irish boxer Jack Doyle thought his boxing days were through, but he takes one last fight for the memories. It turns out the result of the fight gets him in trouble and he has to fight his way back out again. He finds himself with a shady manager he can't trust, a troublesome mobster on his case, and a lady reporter he can't seem to forget.
I liked the story, but it feels pretty basic. I was hoping for a bit more jazz in the story based on the title. It's there, but just as a cameo more than anything else. The art is actually really nice. I love the cover and it's very indicative of what you'll find inside.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
