Substantial and exclusive comic books on the app store aren't overly plentiful. All too many feel brief and a little unfulfilling, while others such as the Marvel comics app simply provide comics that are available physically too, thus taking away some of the appeal. iSeeToon's Ill-fated Relationship provides an entirely original and very dark tale that's gripping from the offset and easy to access from an iOS device.
The art style is minimalist but slightly reminiscent of the style of Frank Miller with Sin City and the Batman series, offering a film noir style that matches the darkness of the story.
Ill-Fated Relationship is a mature and interesting graphic novel. It's refreshing to discover a truly new unique story through such a device. It also works well on the iPhone screen, never feeling cluttered or obscured by the limited screen space. On sale at $4.99, it's a no-brainer for the graphic novel and film noir fan, but even at the future full price of $8.99, it's a great experience.
