Query: Comic book-esque

I was disappointed. I only read 50 pages or so before pitching the book, but in that short span it was revealed that not only was St Cyr the greatest Romeo that London had ever seen, and had hearing far exceeding normal humans, but he could control the flight of a pistol ball with exact precision. For everybody else, a round projectile wanders unpredictably, thats why we use rifled barrels and pointed projectiles now - but St Cyr is not subject to the laws of physics.As to personality, he was the type to ignore, twice, his faithful manservant who was trying to tell him something important. I have seen numerous comics with better plot development and more believable characters.
