Sometimes hard to follow. Art is also inconsistent as hell. Sometimes amazing. Sometimes bad. I get some made in the 80's and 90's verses some done now however it was distracting. Also plot is simple.
What worked though? The relationship. I felt it through these pages. I also loved the way Eric just killed guys without remorse, because it's what they deserved, and you felt the revenge and anger through each kill. What they did to him and his wife was inexcusable and a easy death would be too small for them. I loved watching each get killed the way they deserved.
I also liked the old art. Felt indie, felt like a passion project. Felt right. I wish they added the extra pages, the modern art, for the end. It would have felt better as a "bonus" verses mixing it together.
I think people should read this for simple fact it hits a lot of it's marks. I think if I read a different collection I'd rate it a tad bit higher. Still, it's a emotional story with a lot of heart behind it. Which makes it a must read even if don't love every moment.

One of the darkest comic books I’ve ever read !
The main reason for picking this up ? I wanted to read the source material before the new movie comes out .
Give it a try if you like the movie or you want to watch the movie.

Knowing why the author worked on this graphic novel only makes it harder to go through. I watched one of the movie adaptations before discovering this so I knew what I was getting into, but it was still extremely tough to go through. I loved all the references to poets and writers with quotes about death, and Eric's own twisted responses.
