Z-View: The White Suits #3 by Barbiere & Cypress

Posted on by


The White Suits is a four issue mini-series created by Frank Barbiere & Toby Cypress published by Dark Horse Comics.

Writer: Frank Barbiere

Artist / Colorist: Toby Cypress

Mob war erupts in Chinatown! In a desperate final gambit, New York’s criminal underworld and their Russian mercenaries draw the murderous White Suits into a deadly ambush, with ex-Suit Prizrak and FBI agent Sarah Anderson as hostages. With no way out but death, who will survive the “Kill Box”?

*** Beware – minor spoilers are found below ***

The Good

  • Frank Barbiere’s story requires you to think and Toby Cypress’ art makes you pay attention.
  • “I’m the missing piece.  I’m one of them.”
  • “This is the end… probably what I deserve.”
  • Nice twist with the hulking Russian merc.
  • I really liked the 4 panel storytelling that begins with “My name is Petra…”

The Bad:

  • Cypress’ art is loose… and won’t be to everyone’s taste.
  • Some folks may be put off by the violence in this issue… of course if they’ve read the other issues that shouldn’t be an, uh, issue.

The Ugly:

  • A lot of the people after being caught in explosions and machine gun cross fire.

The White Suits is not for all audiences since it contains adult language and violence.
