Shotgun Wedding does everything right. A seamless blend of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Kill Bill, and so much more, all four issues are fast-paced, action intensive and highly character driven with an overarching story that does not disappoint. Harms clearly contains a great understanding of pacing and storytelling. His characters are believable and relatable while the themes he weaves throughout are written with perfection.
Likewise, Pun illustrates in all black and white with a cartoon style that is befitting of the story. The character beats displayed are moving while his action scenes are explosive and visceral. His drawings flow beautifully with the story, helping to relay a wide array of poignant moments through sequential art.
I did not anticipate how much I would actually enjoy Shotgun Wedding. Every issue brings more to the table both lyrically and visually. This is one series you do not want to miss out on!
