An absolute must-read for readers with a dark and spooky heart. While not traditional horror, with elements of humour and intrigue, Grim is chock-full of dark and gritty, but gorgeous illustrations with a stunning colour palette. It follows the story of Jessica Harrow. She is dead. She is also now a reaper. But unlike other reapers, she has no idea how she died.
With a couple of perfect side-kick-esque friends, this story pulls from traditional elements of death and grim reapers to create a brand-new story with stunning characters, an intriguing plotline and a contemporary setting. Things are not how they are supposed to be and Jessica doesn't understand why her memory, but no one else's, is lacking. The first volume is fast-paced and will hook you into what is no doubt going to be a great ongoing story. And the end of the volume will without a doubt have you in for the long haul.
