The art style was very graphic in this which for some reason is not something that I was expecting. I am probably not going to continue the series but the first book was definitely memorable.

Essa amostra do primeiro capítulo do quadrinho foi muito interessante. Foi uma forma de fazer as pessoas terem vontade de ler o volume inteiro.
Valeu a pena.

The artwork was wow! The story is not rushed but at the sometime fast as you are just dropped right into the issue at hand.

Really great mystery so far, I enjoy the art style a lot. Even in still frames there's a sense of motion. This story got me to say "what the fuck!" out loud multiple times. I'm intrigued by basically everything. The grief was palpable, everyone is acting in a fucked up way but you get it because this entire town is going through a mass trauma together. Every character in this story is broken in some way.

I don't usually read very fast, but I read this during basically all of my very little free time.

I think it probably goes without saying because of the title, but to be clear: this is about children being slaughtered. It is shown in graphic detail. If you can't handle seeing a half-alive dismembered child, which is super understandable, then this story is not for you. It's not that it's as realistic as a movie, that's obviously not possible. It's just really, really gruesome. I have a strong stomach and I had a hard time with this, but it was worth it.
