5.0

When I saw this supernatural story about Rasputin I IMMEDIATELY had to get my hands on it. And I am pleased to that I was thoroughly surprised by this. Firstly, the artwork is incredible! It may be my favorite artist work so far. It really captures the somber tone during this period of Russian history which is then juxtaposed next to these bright and whimsical panels of the supernatural elements. Absolutely stunning! I don't know much about Rasputin, but I recall watching a segment about Anastasia and just remember seeing those cold dead eyes staring straight into my soul. That piqued my interest in him and I learned more about him by reading about the Romanov family. A lot of mystery surrounds Rasputin and this Russian folklore inspired tale takes an interesting and refreshing look into the life of this polarizing figure. Definitely worth the read!
