What I liked:
- The art is shiny, dynamic and well-rounded
- There is a lot of action, and even though I wasn't invested, it was quite easy to read
- I really liked the concept, even though the concept has been used before. A battle between good and evil within a person always gets the blood pumping
What I didn't like:
- Suicide Risk didn't bring anything new to the table. Honestly, this was as bland as could be
- All the characters were paper-thin. The motivations where only half established, themes were never carried through
- It also doesn't help that all the characters are copy-pasted archetypes. The cop who sees his partner get hurt, who neglects his family and gets himself in too deep? Gee, I have never seen that before
- It tries to establish some pathos for the main character by including family scenes, but the family dynamics seemed stilted and too idealised
- Near the end, the story completely goes off the deep end by adding weird shit that doesn't fit in the world
Verdict: Least inspired Boom! Studios production I have read so far. Would only recommend this for when you have to pass some time at the dentist's
