This book lives up to the original Douglas Adams books. Weird, funny, and oddly satisfying.

Poking about a dead guy's IP is pretty fraught. Most of the time the end result is a half assed, fanficcy version of That Thing You Like And Didn't Think you Could Have Of, see Dune sequels and the complete output of Chris Tolkien. But Dirk Gently is weirdly prescient of modern procedurals; He's eccentric and maybe not neurotypical and he uses those powers to solve crime...well mysteries, he may not have actually dealt with crime ever. The comic book version is really good at working that premise and actually using the art and sequence of panels to emphasize the interconnectedness of all things aspect. The meta reveals and bouncing around panel to panel is great.

Verdict: Try it. If you're a fan, it's a great use of the weirdness comics are capable of to tell a detective story very much in the mood of the novels.

The title said Dirk Gently and as a Douglas Adams fan, I grabbed it immediately. Loved reading this book.
