Carla Speed McNeil, Finder vol. 1: Sin-Eater
Lightspeed (2007) ISBN: 978-09673691-9-8
Score: 1
This is the first collection (or maybe an omnibus of the first two) of the post-apocalypse urban fantasy comic Finder, specifically issues 1-14 and 22 (including an additional 9 pages that weren't in that issue) and some author commentary. The setting is fairly deep and complex (perhaps too complex) but not really relevant to this story, which is mainly a psychological drama. I didn't really like any of the characters, and thought both the hero and villain were far too trusting and admiring of each other, especially since they both suffer from violent hallucinations. Also, part of the premise is that the ruling clans have strict rules concerning how much their members can vary in physical appearance, which is plausible in context (and useful to the plot), but makes the characters hard to tell apart, especially in a black and white comic.
