An engaging story with great dialogue and pretty art -- though at times the colouring choices were so chaotic as to make it hard for me to follow, that thankfully didn't happen very often -- about a young, albino tattoo artist whose life is turned upside down when the Yakuza discovers she might be very good at killing people. Brian Michael Bendis is quite well known, so I picked this one up. Pearl Tanaka is an albino tattoo artist of Japanese background, living in San Francisco. She defends a guy she meets and becomes embroiled in a Yakuza plot. The artwork is painterly but the plot a bit pedestrian. We learn more about Pearl's skills as a killer than as a tattoo artist. She is a woman of mystery. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

And any book that feels obliged to include an article in back explaining why the white male writer is featuring a Japanese-American woman with albinism as his protagonist is admitting there may be a bigger problem here. It even includes an admission of the writer's previous mishandling of a yakuza storyline in another book and how he's trying to do better this time. Ummmm . . .
I have the next volume on hand from the library, so I'm going to read it, but only from completist compulsion at this point, not enthusiasm. ( )
