Hunters by Josh Tierney, Paul Maybury
3.0
'Hunters' with main story and art by Josh Tierney and Miguel Valderrama is a unique idea for an anthology story. Some of the art quality just doesn't hold up with the rest.
A dying king sends a group of adventurers to a mysterious island to look for a cure. They find clues for how to proceed and split up in to groups to search. As each group goes their way, a different art team tells their story. The styles vary quite a bit, and characters perish along the way. The group comes back together a couple times, and the mystery of the island has a final resolution, but not before showing us some pretty weird traps and monsters that the island has in store.
I like the idea, and I liked most of the artwork. I wish there had been a brief foreword to explain the concept. The radical change in styles was initially confusing, but I ultimately liked this odd tale.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Lion Forge, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
