Bueno, la verdad que esperaba algo más complejo, más desarrollado o simplemente con más historia de la que trae. Cuando me di cuenta de que era un cómic, pensé que sería más ameno, y sí que lo fue xd.
En fin, es MUY fácil de leer, por lo tanto... creo que alguien con una base de inglés lo entiende perfectamente.

A really easy read about a comic designer who goes to the bookstore and finds a map. He follows the lead with Rita a woman whose car is broken and they find out about a kidnapping that is about to happen in an hour near a high school. Two men Max and Joey are trying to kidnap Anastasia the daughter of a famous movie star and they want 3 millions in return.

El protagonista, Tom, es el personaje más inútil del mundo con sus confianzas en todo el mundo y falta de razón. Se nota que a John Escott no le gustan los protagonistas listos.
¿Por qué sigo leyendo libros suyos si cada uno es un sufrimiento para mí? Posiblemente sea un poco masoquista.
