Standalone Galore.

A collection of Sin City short stories. A curious and varied compilation of sorts, most of them standalone stories sharing the same timeline as pretty much any other volume in the Sin City series.

An interesting selection of known and unknown characters sharing their own or different but interconnected stories, some of which include but is not limited to: Shlubb & Klump, Gail, Miho and especially Dwight, Marv and Delia.

My favorites, and by far, are the ones featuring Marv, and Delia. I just can’t never get enough of them. F*ck Dwight.

★★★☆☆ “1. Silent Night.”
★★★★☆ “2. The Babe Wore Red and Other Stories.” [3.5]
★★★☆☆ “3. Lost, Lonely and Lethal.”
★★★☆☆ “4. Just Another Saturday Night.” [3.5]
★★★☆☆ “5. Sex and Violence.” [3.5]
★★★☆☆ “6. Daddy's Little Girl.” [2.5] (view spoiler)

PERSONAL NOTE :
[1998] [160p] [Comics] [Partly Recommendable]

★★★★☆ Sin City #1 - The Hard Goodbye.
★★★★☆ Sin City #2 - A Dame to Kill For. [3.5]
★★★☆☆ Sin City #3 - The Big Fat Kill. [3.5]
★★★☆☆ Sin City #4 - That Yellow Bastard.
★★★☆☆ Sin City #5 - Family Values. [2.5]
★★★☆☆ Sin City #6 - Booze, Broads, and Bullets.
★★★☆☆ Sin City #7 - Hell and Back. [3.5]
★★★☆☆ Sin City #1-7 Complete Set.

-----------------------------------------------

Abundancia de Independientes.

Una colección de cuentos cortos de Sin City. Una especie de recopilación curiosa y variada, la mayoría de ellas historias independientes que comparten la misma línea de tiempo que prácticamente cualquier otro volumen de la serie Sin City.

Una interesante selección de personajes conocidos y desconocidos que comparten historias propias o diferentes pero interconectadas, algunos de los cuales incluyen pero no se limitan a: Shlubb y Klump, Gail, Miho y especialmente Dwight, Marv y Delia.

Mis favoritos, y por lejos, son los que protagonizan Marv y Delia. Nunca puedo tener suficiente de ellos. Al diablo con Dwight.

★★★☆☆ “1. Noche Silenciosa.”
★★★★☆ “2. La Chica Viste de Rojo y Otras Historias.” [3.5]
★★★☆☆ “3. Perdida, Solitaria y Letal.”
★★★☆☆ “4. Sólo Otra Noche de Sábado.” [3.5]
★★★☆☆ “5. Sexo y Violencia.” [3.5]
★★★☆☆ “6. La Niña de Papá.” [2.5] (view spoiler)

Diana Glad to see you’re still enjoying (sometimes) your way through this series!


message 2: by Ron (new)

Ron I could imagine "standalones" can't live up to a continuous story, unless they add something extra to those prior stories. Unknown characters is a plus. Good review.


message 3: by Kat (new)

Kat Well now I hate Dwight on your behalf. I'm glad Marv and Delia still make you happy! 😄 Terrific review, Federico!

Not always great, yet always enjoyable, somewhat lol. Thank you Diana :) !

Yup. Still good, nonetheless :p. Thank you Ron!

Ian "Booze, Broads, and Bullets" - I love it!

In the UK there is an expression "It does exactly what it says on the tin". It derived originally from a TV advert for a brand of fence paint. I sincerely hope that Sin City 6 delivered exactly what it said on the tin!

I actually don't remember anything about Booze in this one, weird. Not that I complain, Broads and Bullets was fine enough for me lol. Thank you so much Ian! Never heard that expression before, so cool to learn about it <3


Saranya ⋆☕︎ ˖ (hiatus) Aha! the title has alliteration! Glad you're enjoying the series! Nice Review, Federico!☕☕😎

It's a British thing. They wouldn't know it in the States.

Your are totally right! That;s keen observation Saranya 😎! Thanks a bunch :D

I'm from Argentina. Not that it really matters, I think down here we wouldn't know of it either lol. Thank you Ian :D

Sorry, that came out wrong. I knew you were from Argentina. I just thought you would be more likely to visit the US than travel to Europe.

Although maybe not, since I believe it's practically impossible for South Americans to legally visit the US nowadays. That's a whole different issue though...

Yes, sadly traveling and migration policies seems to be hardening in almost every single country in the world nowadays! Shame, maybe just a phase? Thankfully I have an European passport, thanks to some Italian grandfather I never knew lol. Although I've never used it so far, and visiting the States is hardly in my priority list, except maybe someday just to have it ticked off and say 'been there, done that' :p


message 17: by Esta (new)

Esta Haha I love this for you. F*ck Dwight indeed. I never really liked movie Dwight either x 2. A very cool constructive roundup and critique Fede, love this series for you--well reviewed!

Thank you so much Esta <3! Just one more to go, happily not featuring Dwight anymore lol.


Rosh ~catching up slowly~ F Dwight and F men who call women 'broads'!
Seems like a decent collection considering every story got 2.5+stars. Glad you continue to enjoy this series, Feddie. Nice review! :)

Yes, not bad all things considering. Probably even better if not for that F Dwight lol. Thank you so much Rosh <3 !

Fran Feddie...Keeping "Sinning" it suits you!🤣😂 Especially Dwight stories! Great review!


Federico DN Fran wrote: "Feddie...Keeping "Sinning" it suits you!🤣😂 Especially Dwight stories! Great review!"

Just one more and I'm gladly done 'Sinning' xD. I mean, the only reason I started this comic in the first place is exactly because they are few and limited lol. Thank you so much Fran <3


message 25: by Nancy (new)

Nancy Easy to see why Marv is a favorite of yours, Fede. Thanks to your reviews, I rewatched Sin City this past weekend. Such a great film. I had forgotten how much of a badass Miho is. 😊


message 26: by Dmitri (new)

Dmitri Looks like #1 & #2 are the core works. Thanks for making it easy to start and stop the series!


message 27: by Srivalli (new)

Srivalli (Semi-Hiatus) Hmm... those are some titles, I say! Still, the content seems to be entertaining, given the ratings. Glad you are enjoying the series, Federico! Great review. :)

Oh, so glad to hear you enjoyed it again Nancy! The first movie was spot on with the comic, covering #1, #2 and #4, and Devon Aoki sure was super badass as deadly little Miho lol <3

Thank you Dmitri! Absolutely, #1 and #2 were just the thing and Sin City at its peak and finest <3.

Thibault Busschots Sounds like a good collection of short stories that expand the universe a bit and give some other characters a chance to shine. Good review, Federico.

A. ¿Y cómo le cae Dwight, Fede? ¿"Al diablo"? Bueno, espero que no me mande ahí. O a alguno de sus equivalentes en argentino. Me puse a pensar (¡Sí! me puse a pensar) son muchos lugares dónde mandar a la gente. A veces se lo merecen. Bueno, ya hice catarsis. Gracias. Lindo lunes.
