A bit of a noir detective deconstruction that takes place in a distinctly new Orleans flavoured not quite afterlife. Stylish and colourful, though I'm not sure the synthwave vibe adds much to the tale beyond a pretty veneer.
I believe Limbo is a complete mini-series, although, that ending! I could do with more. It’s all a bit surreal noir with a dash of voodoo and a bunch of outdated technology. Our amnesiac detective gets sucked into a TV by a teleshaman via a VHS and the voodoo priestess uses mixtapes as sacrifices. It’s a bit hard to get into and kinda crazy but I really enjoyed it and I loved the artwork.
That was weird. It's hard to believe that a book with luchadors & New Orleans would be something I didn't dig, but it's true!
