I almost didn't finish this one. I know I keep going on about covers but so often they are our first point of contact. The cover art for The Damned Busters and its sequels is done by one of my favourite artists and cartoonists Tom Gauld.
It's a dark comedy dealing with the devil and demons and crime fighting, a light read I thought I was going to enjoy and ended up being a slog to finish. I gave up twice because it simply didn't hold my attention. There are some nice set pieces, but the protagonist annoyed me, a wonderful underlying concept, but nothing to care about and worst of all it didn't make me laugh. The whole story just felt too easy. I doubt I'll be getting the rest.
