    This is awesome and I am really glad they mostly fixed the layout issue from the first one. It was horribly almost kind of unreadable because of how weirdly the bubbles were placed. This one only has one that feels kind of out of place.

    Of course the art is top notch

    I was having a hard time figuring out why I love this one so much, and you hit it on the head.

    When he asks Carl if he wants to solve a murder, Carl just beams.

    Why do people keep talking about the "50s vibe" from the comic.

    It is set in 1927

    No Mike art, no Tycho words.

    It's good, but it's not what I fell in love with.

    Saw a couple posts about how it was "50s cool." Noir detective stories are definitively 50s to you? Just need some flapper girls to make it really feel like the Cold War.

    Probably the style of the art?

    I dunno, personally I don't get any sort of "vibe" like that, other than a "oh hey this is pretty cool" vibe. But I'm also not some sort of comic connoisseur.

    i also mix up the 20s and the 50s a lot.

    in my head it goes "World War I -> Stuff -> Great Depression -> World War II -> Stuff -> the 60s -> Stuff -> the 80s -> the 90s -> Today"
