Fun and pleasant enough, but it didn't really pack much of an emotional punch. I think this was because I didn't care very much about the girls of the school because they were all sort of the same woman with different hair styles. And when they died (?...probably died, but that was kind of unclear as well), it was shown in this sort of blase` manner that seemed more like a mildly alarming pre-commercial sort of cliffhanger than a demise. The protagonist, K, was also a little too neatly drawn - a good little orphan girl who doesn't WANT to steal using her flawless thieving skills, but just has to and who just wants to help everyone in the world. I really, really like Richard Sala. His art style is really great, I love his horror sensibilities, and most of his books prominently feature a really bitchin' female main character. Some his works can verge a bit on the silly side, but I thought that while Cat Burglar Black still had the campy elements of Sala's style, it also had a much more complex plot and more developed characterization than usual making it a particularly worthwhile read.
Do You like book Cat Burglar Black (2009)?
It was kind of interesting...I thought it would be better as a junior graphic novel, though.
