Una historia puramente de venganza y gore, estéticamente muy chula y, aunque la trama es sencilla, me ha gustado ver como El Cuervo iba cazando a sus víctimas.

dark mysterious reflective sad medium-paced

Dark, violent, tragic, and poetic. A tale of revenge sought and found, steeped in death and pain.

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.
