The sixth Sin City volume is a series of short stories, if you can call comics that. You get pieces that star Marv, for example, and one of those even has no talking.

Miller uses color a little more here, to emphasis who is who. For example, in the tales of an assassin, she appears in a different color to the rest of the book. A similar technique is used for 'The Babe Wore Red'.

Unlike the start of Miller's masterwork, volume 6 is more a series of vignettes, but it's just as powerful as anything else. We see some familiar characters like Marv and the ever present Nancy and some new ones are thrown in for good measure. As always, there are previous (and likely future) stories entwined throughout for careful readers of the full series.
An awesome combination of Sin City stories. - Reviewed on 2007-07-21

Frank Miller's Sin City is still dead-on as the the most violent, dark and most noir comic of our time. Book 6 of 7, Booze, Broads, & Bullets is a combination of stories about the people of Basin City. These tales are funny, perverted and emotional, "Silent Night", "The Customer is Always Right", "The Babe Wore Red" "And Behind Door Number Three... are my favorite of the bunch. I hope you enjoy this book!

BOOZE, BROADS, & BULLETS gets the Sin City series back on track after the unfortunate swing and miss of Vol. 5, FAMILY VALUES. A collection of short stories, it intermixes familiar faces while introducing some new ones. Marv, the old favorite from THE HARD GOODBYE, is in a couple of stories and we see his two-fisted philosophy of protecting the unprotected in action. Dwight from THE BIG FAT KILL also helps out a damsel-in-distress de jour. While Miho and the girls of Old Town dispense their own rough justice to the deserving saps who ask for it.

As for the new faces, the most interesting is the female killer Delia, the subject of three stories here. She provides the quote which constitutes the title of this review and she means what she says. Delia does enjoy killing and she is awfully good at it. Delia represents exactly what I like about the Sin City books - female characters that can be not only the source of solace and comfort to men, but the exact opposite as well. Besides Delia, we also meet Amy, aka Daddy's Little Girl. Amy may not kill people directly like Delia, but she sure is a catalyst for their deaths. Although these characters might be new, the hard stories and noir edge are exactly what we have come to expect from the residents of Basin City.

All in all, BOOZE, BROADS, & BULLETS is a solid addition to the Sin City catalogue. Everyone will have their favorite stories in this volume and everyone will see some of the stories as not quite as good. But looked at as a whole, if you have made it this far into the series, you probably will not be disappointed with this book.
