Postal #3 is a solid chapter that is better if you have read the first two issues. Even so, the book flows well and will suck you in, regardless.

Eden is the sheltered community of Postal. It is a town that is created by the bad guys, for the bad guys wishing to escape their former lives and associated troubles. People mind their business. Transactions are in cash. And the FBI has its watchful eye on the place.

In the midst of it all is the mayor, who comes across kind but rules with a loaded shotgun. The only law is discretion. The only town goal is to stay off the radar of the outside world. The mayor's son is the town Postmaster, and he is the focus of this series. He falls somewhere on the autistic spectrum, but it is clear that he is routinely underestimated and disregarded. It's clear that this perception will allow some big changes to take place as his life experience expands.

The writing is smart, and the dialogue stays true to sharply developed characters. There are interesting people here, and it's clear from how they act that they all have different stories. And writer Matt Hawkins continues to make us question reality, religion, and where morals are properly placed.

The artwork is made better by some excellent coloring by Betsy Gonia, who does a solid job of relaying the mood while keeping the linework clean. You can read the book without words and know what the feel of the scene is supposed to be.

The book is worth grabbing, either to complete the mini-series run or as part of the complete trade paperback when released.
