Jake Dobson, a comic book store clerk, finds a cell phone on his way to work inside of which are numerous photos of a murder victim. This sets off a sequence of events where Jake is pursued by crazy hitmen, the police, and a secret organisation of nutters who have a fetish for pinkie fingers.
A comic from Andy Diggle and Jock, the creative team behind Green Arrow: Year One, should be all kinds of awesome and, disappointingly, it’s not. It’s a story that starts promisingly but ends up becoming a contrived b-movie thriller.
Jake’s your basic everyman reacting the same way anyone would, horrified at the dark world of murder and high level secrets he stumbles upon, but really he should’ve been killed several times over in the story. We’re supposed to believe a comic book store clerk can somehow outwit multiple professional assassins? At a certain point, Jake getting lucky over and over again becomes tedious.
The story itself goes from odd and somewhat mysterious, in a good way, to utterly confusing and ultimately forgettable. There’s this group of bad guys after this other group and there’s a secret organisation and everyone’s got their pinkie fingers cut off, and… at a certain point I just stop trying to follow it, it just wasn’t rewarding enough.
Diggle’s gone the route of Morning Glories, piling on intrigue after intrigue until it gets too complex and the reader has no idea what’s happening in the story. It’s fun for a while and then when you realise the writer has tangled himself up in the various plot threads and is unable to align them in a way that makes sense, it starts to get frustrating until you just plain give up. Unlike Morning Glories though, Snapshot is mercifully limited to 100 pages only.
Jock’s art is pretty good here but the black and white approach to this story might not have been the best approach here. Certain panels like the one with the dead bodies in a car upside down were hard to decipher no matter how much I looked at it and some colours would’ve helped differentiate between the shadows and the blood, both of which were presented as pure black.
I wanted to like this but ended up just flicking through the last third, bamboozled to the last. What does the final page mean? How did Jake survive all that madness at the end? I didn’t care. Snapshot is an overly complex lacklustre thriller with good art.

Electric. Immediate. Gripping. This story is great, and though the art style is a little different from what I'm used to with Jock, it's damned effective.
Compared to another book I'm reading right now (Uncanny X-Force), this is more heightened, spends less time morosely dragging through the story. It has that luxury as a 4-issue mini, so it doesn't have to stretch out forever - and that's what makes stuff like this so fun.
But god does it go downhill fast.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!
Once I started reading, I could not put this one down! I found it totally gripping right from the start. The protagonist finds a cell phone with photos of a dead body. Thus starts his adventure! I don't want to give away the plot, so I won't say much more than that. Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoys crime type graphic novels.
The book is in black and white and displayed perfectly on my tablet. Since it is not full-color, you will not find it stunning, but where this one really shines is the story. It is rather short and the ending wraps up the story very nicely. I didn't even realize that there are currently four books in this series. Now, I want to read all of them!
Pick this thriller up today!

3.5*
This would be better as a movie.
The plot starts really good, and it catches our attention since the very first page. The development is nice and it has an ok ending.
So #1 and #2 are very good. #3 is good. #4 is okay.
The drawings are quite simple but I don't mind. Actually, I think that with a "harder"/ more complex technique the drawings wouldn't fit the story. There are some specific pages that are really really good.
It's a fast reading but it is worth it if you get it on a good sale.

Beautifully drawn art by Jock and a story that has you constantly running back and forth in your head about what might be really going on in this crime drama! Also, bonus points awarded for the smallest Watchmen reference!

I guess my time of fawning over Andy Diggle has long passed, now. After what I felt was a a amazing start to a career in comics with "The Losers", it's been a fairly downward tilt ever since. I mean, some of his work has been good, like the Green Arrow stuff, and hell, I even liked his little run on Swamp Thing a ways back. But here, in Snapshot, we can see a writer who has quite literally run out of things to say. Either that, or he doesn't know what to say unless an editor is putting the screws to him.
Snapshot is the most rudimentary type of thriller, basically boiling down to "the butler did it" stereotype. He tries feebly to hide that fact underneath a tiny little smidgen of corporate espionage, high speed car chases and international intrigue, but when we get to it, there's really so little substance here, it was hard to take much of anything away from it.
Anemic and dying of starvation, the book also suffers from something other than lack of substance- lack of a like able main character. The dialogue doesn't make us feel a single thing for this guy, or his plight, as he meanders through an Alfred Hitchcock-styled (I mean, stolen from Alfred Hitchcock, really. And I mean, blatantly stolen from 'The Man Who Knew Too Much') North by Northwest maze of silliness.
So what do we get out of this, as readers? Not much other than Jock's always talented offerings in the art department. But even I'll say that without the color, something is lacking. And I've always been if the mind that Jock would blow me away as a bw artist. Guess I was wrong.
Honestly, just skip it. Skip everything about it. I don't know if he was thinking he could just throw some crap together and maybe get a TV deal or movie deal the same way a lot of other creator owned books are these days, or what, but this is just the most middling and rudimentary thing in the realm of indie comics that you could ever want to try and finish.

Snapshot is a lot of fun.
Andy Diggle's story reminds me of the David Robert Mitchell movie Under the Silver Lake. There are similar themes, and the mystery at the heart of Snapshot is also reminiscent.
Snapshot was released five years before Under the Silver Lake. So if either is derivative, it's Under the Silver Lake. I suspect the similarities are just a coincidence, though.
Jock's artwork is gorgeous. The black and white presentation allows Jock's linework and layouts to shine. In the afterward, Diggle said they considered adding color for the collected edition. I'm glad they didn't.
P.S. - I've forgotten to keep up with my Goodreads account over the past couple of weeks. So I'm going to list each read date as today.

I read through Snapshot fairly quickly and I enjoyed it. The best parts about the book is the story and the artwork. However, the jumps in logic that you'd have to make with this book are a bit much.
What I'm referring to isn't the logistics of the story at all, as it's meant to be a mystery/action story and some times you have to get creative with those plots to stand out from other stories. However, this is more in the believability of the main character and what he's capable of. The things that he does in this book put me off because I am somehow supposed to believe a teenage comic book store clerk can compete with an experienced hit man? I had a really hard time buying that.
Despite that though, as I've said, the story itself and the artwork is really well done and worth checking out for that. Just keep in mind you may have to suspend your disbelief a lot for the main character.

Jake Dobson was on his way to work when he found a cell phone at the park. He took it with him and when he later checked the contents, he saw pictures of a dead man. Unwittingly, he gets involved in a ruthless conspiracy of greed and murder. Soon, he is running for his life as dead bodies start piling around him. Will Jake escape with his life or will he fall victim of the greed of others.
Snapshot is a stark and gritty graphic novel with black and white artwork. The imagery is very cinematic and reminds me of the violence and grittiness of Scorsese. The artwork reflects the motion of violence and the desperation of the characters that are trying to escape. The art works well with the story and tries to further engage the reader with the hopelessness of it all.
I liked the story but I think it progressed far too quickly and too conveniently. This all happens in one day and we have this kid stumbling upon this gigantic conspiracy formed of powerful and ruthless men and women. Although the back story is there, the characters lack depth as they stumble upon convenient plot lines and clues.
A good and interesting read. Don't really know if I care to know what happens next.

A great surprise, quite dark with a good the plot.
I was particularly amazed by the twists, suspense and variety of scenes. This comic is fast pace, very well done, with an intense, sanguinolent plot that keeps the reader in suspense.
Generally, one expects to find beautiful illustrations that sometimes may cannibalize the action. There, I had the impression that I was in a manga because of the black and white vignettes.
The illustrations compliment beautifully the action and make it even darker.
A great comic!

I am not one of those comic fans who are incensed by work for hire “corporate” comic companies like Marvel or DC. Nor am I one of those comic fans who endlessly praise creator owned works as the gold standard for creativity and artistic expression. Creator owned comics can be just as often done for less than altruistic reasons as anything by Marvel or DC. None of this has anything to do with this book or the creators involved in the making of it, this is just something that I have wanted to get off my chest. Having said that, lets take a look at this book.
Jake is a west coast teenager working at a comic shop who finds a smartphone on the ground while riding his bike to work one day. When he gets to work he finds a regular customer and friend waiting for him to open the store. They go through the phone and find pictures of a murder scene on the phone, and the phone only has one contact number in its phonebook. Then the phone rings and the voice on the other end claims to be a homicide detective who needs the phone for evidence. Jake, being a kid, and this being a comic, tells the obvious hitman where he is and agrees to let him come and get the phone.
Jake, to his credit, does try and go to the police...who then don't believe him. Things get pretty tricky to describe from here without being one of those asshole reviewers who give a scene by scene, blow by blow spoiler-filled synopsis. Snapshot is a well thought out, flawless story, the type of thing that my wife would watch on television and that I would skip to read more comic books. It's strange, I will read comic books about all kinds of things, but will watch very, very little television. I say this not as some moral or intellectually smug comment, I say it as a point of reference for how I spend my free time. I waste just as much time on entertainment as you do...and probably too much money.

My initial thought was that this must have been an early effort from this pair, the the lack of color, but nope, seems this was released after they wished in the losers! The story is about a comic book fan who gets sucked into a world of conspiracy and violence and it's exactly as generic as that make it sound. The motivations and mechanisms of the bad guys are completely opaque, the whole thing pivots on a convoluted scam that barely makes sense and I'm not really sure what the pint of it all is. Jock's striking art in monochrome is the best thing about it, and Diggle can script a solid actin sequence, but this is otherwise a bit of a mess.
February 28, 2022
First and foremost, I love the artwork by Jock. It was made even more impressive being presented in black and white. It was flawless. The story however left a lot to be desired. Andy Diggle has done better crime books before. I think the concept got away from him here. What started as an interesting mystery quickly evolved into an insane plot that made little sense. The main characters made strange decisions and the antagonists were just cliches. Overall, a beautiful book that isn't a great read.
April 12, 2021
Great art. Great, twisty story. Kinda thin, writing-wise. The bad guys have to hold the idiot ball from time to time to make the plot work. It suffers from, every once in a while, making you say 'why don't they just shoot him?' But then, every Bond film is like that, and they're a lot of fun.
Definitely a fun read if you come across it. Make a great movie, I think,

A veces coges un comic sin saber nada de él y te sorprende totalmente. Trae tanto prólogo como epílogo y la historia te sorprende totalmente, no es nada que hayas imaginado. Es b/n pero le pega muy bien

Good solid violent thriller fun. Not too bad, not perfect, but not bad at all.

I disegni di Jock sono discreti, a tratti davvero centrati. Per il resto questo volume, sviluppato per 8 anni, fra altri impegni, è davvero da dimenticare.

In Snapshot, a young man who works in a comic book store finds an abandoned smart phone in the park, and that's about the quietest moment in the whole book. It's an action story that will leave you breathless and turning pages. The story twists and turns relentlessly.
When Jake Dobson finds a smart phone in the park, he thinks he can sell it for cash. When he looks at the photos on the phone, it puts his life in danger from a hitman who shows up at his comic shop. The photos show a dead man with a missing pinkie. Things turn strange when the dead man in the photos shows up alive and well at the police station where Jake tries to explain what's happening. It gets crazier from there when people around Jake start ending up dead, and he makes a new friend that may have something in common with the pictures on the phone.
The art is all black and white and it's striking. It sets a noir tone for this story that I'd love to see on a big screen. It's very cinematic. I especially love that Jake never gets overly competent at anything while he is running. I'm not sure I buy what the bad guys are doing, but the story is good enough that I can overlook it. Great story!
I received this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this pulse-pounding graphic novel.

Jock's art is fantastic, as always, even in black and white. It's a noirish crime thriller with a perfectly fitting, bleak ending. The overall concept -- a cell phone with photos of future murder victims on it -- is absolutely fascinating, but that's not quite what's going on here. I was expecting something a little more mysterious or supernatural. Prior to Occupy Wall Street, the "revelation" at the end was likely a novel concept, but we all know that there are shady dealings behind big banks at this point, so I wanted to see something more surprising. The characters are likeable enough for a short journey; it's compelling enough for one read; but it's not something I see myself returning to or heartily recommending.

El autor de Los perdedores y Hellblazer, Andy Diggle, firma junto a Jock (con quién formó equipo creativo en Los perdedores) esta miniserie de cuatro números donde un teléfono móvil con fotografías de un asesinato cae en manos de un dependiente de una tienda de cómics. En el momento en que el aparato cae en sus manos comienzan a tener lugar una serie de acontecimientos de lo más variado: desde un matón a sueldo que intenta acabar con su vida, hasta el descubrimiento, chica mediante, de un complot mayor en un tablero donde las piezas parecen predispuestas de antemano.

I should start this by saying that I don’t read a lot of comic books but I read one earlier this year and really enjoyed it then I found this one on and thought I would give it another go but sadly this kind of fell short for me. I found the flow confusing to follow and often to have to reread the panels at least twice to understand who was saying what. I also didn’t really care for the art in the comic. The plot sounded good but honestly it was at times a little confusing to follow and was just a little weird for me. All and all I’m sure some enjoyed it but in this case it just wasn’t for me.
March 21, 2015
The best part in autoral comic book projects is that the aura and the aesthetic are very unique, and that's the exact case of "Snapshot". This comic book is developed in a incredible black and white, with a beautiful line. With that being said, through the last two parts of the story, it got a little bit too carefree and dispretensious to my taste, wich made the ending go in quite of a sloopy way. Too fast. But, then again, it's still a very unique and original approach on the "there's-someone-trying-to-kill-me-because-I-know-too-much" type of story. Highly recommended.
May 13, 2014
This is pretty dark and stark; the villains are a very modern concept, and there's a moment near the end where they are explaining just how little a threat the protagonist is to them that's so utterly cynical and yet realistic that it's disturbing. The story twists and turns a lot, going from a lost phone to an international conspiracy. No one is safe, and several expectations are subverted. This is not a happy book, but it drives its point home.

Andy Diggle and Jock are one of the best teams in comics, so I was stoked when I heard about this series. It's off to a pretty good start with this twisty-turny introduction. The writing is witty and sharp, and the art is gorgeous. It's exactly what you'd expect from the team who brought you The Losers. Can't wait to see where it goes.

This short series was intended as a screenplay and reads as such all the way through. It reminded me very much of Collateral and Phone Booth. Highly recomended if you like cinematic storytelling and Black & White artwork in crime comics in particular.
August 13, 2016
I hope you like the art, because with a derivative plot and uninspired writing, Snapshot feels like a recycled story from a tv show. Slacker gets caught up in something that should end up in him getting killed. Lots of violence.
May I recommend instead checking out the tv show, The Wrong Mans? Similar premise, a bit funnier.

Andy Diggle takes a chance find of a cell phone to launch a black and white thriller involving a comic book store clerk, the daughter of a murdered man, a hitman and high finance. In the end, the protagonists are allowed to survive as they cannot change the system. A dark look at the dark side of high finance. Not a bad read, either.
March 1, 2014
A fairly decent thriller - type story. The author admits he was initially writing it as a movie screenplay and it does kinda feel like that. It's a relatively slim volume and thus a quick read but it's also quite cheap, so I got what I paid for. Not a bad way to pass the time.
