John Tiffany Volume 1 by Stephen Desberg

3/5 stars

“You are one of the last heroes, John. One of the very last cowboys riding into the sunset. And I love you for that.”

John Tiffany, an absolute player! The man must be a rager in bed if the number of women who throw themselves at him are any indication. I loved the noir vibes he had, though! He came across as an old-school John Wick, and I really enjoyed his character.

I think my favourite character was Dorothy. She was so stereotypically “American” and the absolute scandal of John because she voted for Bush was hilarious. I loved that she was an unapologetically strong female character and that she was clothed in most of the story. I enjoy a pretty naked woman as much as the next person, but there’s more to women than being naked and at a man’s beck and call.

I wish Magdalena had been developed a little more. I’m really curious about her backstory and exactly who her “owner” is. I felt like she had a lot more to offer for her character than what was shown of her. Some of the stereotypes were a bit much as well, like Rodrigo Rodriguez. It wouldn’t have taken much to come up with a different name…

The art style was really cool and brought together the feeling of a gritty noir.  The font was a little hard to read on mobile. Some words blended together a bit, but otherwise, I thought everything came together nicely.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the review copy! Everything in my review is my honest opinion.
