Editorial Review: Product Description: Detective Richard Fell is transferred over the bridge from the big city to Snowtown, a feral district whose police investigations department numbers three and a half people (one detective has no legs). Dumped in this collapsing urban trashzone, Richard Fell is starting all over again. In a place where nothing seems to make any sense, Fell clings to the one thing he knows to be true: everybody's hiding something. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Gritty noir with a touch of creepy surrealism.I stumbled across this when I was in the library, and I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. The main character reminds me of Sam Spade, while the atmosphere he moves through and the people he interacts with would make director David Lynch mighty proud of its weirdness. The stories are engaging, though they start off a little slow. My only real gripe is that there is not a second volume. I found this to be a refreshing break from the usual bland grahic novel offerings of late. Do yourself a favor ... Read More Rating:  - Good art and boring as sinAfter reading through Wormwood I was very excited to get my hands on Fell. It's not written by Templesmith but I love his art and with all of the great reviews I had to give it a shot. Unfortunately, I found Fell very difficult to read. First off, this is a set of about eight separate stories with a small subplot about Fell's history that flows throughout. Each story is, honestly, just too short and it seems like Fell is only a great detective because stuff just falls in his lap. It almost ... Read More Rating: - Awesome Warren Ellison book!Very excellent new detective/crime based graphic novel. I personally love the character of Detective Fell. I like the idea that he has been ostracized from his regular post as a police detective over the River and has been vanished to Snow City. Fell is an excellent depiction of personal strife and character flaw, although he is a good man and very believable, because he is tough but not like a superhero, he has to rely on his intelect quite often to catch the bad guys, very much like Batman in the old ... Read More Rating: - BrilliantWarren Ellis' (Transmetropolitan, Thunderbolts, Desolation Jones, Astonishing X-Men, this list can go on and on...) brilliant crime fiction saga Fell is something you have to read to believe. Revolving around the incredibly skilled Detective Richard Fell, who has been transfered to Snowtown: a crime-ridden wasteland from which there may be no escape. As the area around him decays with every passing minute, Fell makes a number of encounters (most frequently with an eccentric bar-maid) with the townspeople, ... Read More Rating: - MagnificientOh boy! Good doesn't even begin to describe it. Warren Ellis does noir and sets a different standard for everybody else. His inner cityscape is gritty, convincing and creepy. And I am not easily spooked. Richard Fell is beautifully characterized as the detective dedicated to his craft and every bit human and vulnerable. And Snowtown is the ultimate urban nightmare - a town that the rest of the world gave up on and only exists in the shadows of human society - inhabited by the true scum of the earth.
