Once again, I fell into the trap of not noticing that graphic novel I was picking up was the first in a series. As I have no way of getting my hands on the next two (other than buying them), I will have to be satisfied with just this one. That said, I was glad to at least have given this a shot. I liked what I read and can extrapolate to possible next steps in the storyline.
We meet an anti-hero in our undertaker who seems to take pleasure in using underhanded measures to make his way in the world. This is a short first volume which introduces the world at the time and the life-threatening situations everyone finds themselves in. It is fast paced, with many twists and a forbidding ambience. I would recommend picking this up if you have a way of getting your hands on the entire collection.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.
