A Legacy of Violence Vol. 1 by Rus Wooton, Cullen Bunn, Andrea Mutti
4.0
I received a free e-ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you so much NetGalley and Mad Cave Studios!
CW: blood and gore
This graphic novel was a fun mix of slasher and whodunnit on a larger scale than I was expecting. Given the book being short, I was at first concerned pacing would be an issue. Thankfully, it wasn’t at all. I was able to linger in strange, uncomfortable moments for just the right amount of time. I also thought we would’ve faced one or two murders max, but this kill count is already getting pretty high after the first installment.
The art was perfect for this book. The illustrations and coloring left just enough to the imagination for you to fill in the blanks, and I particularly am a sucker for black-and-white flashbacks. I still have a few questions after reading this, but nothing that will stop me reaching for the second volume.
Overall, if you’re looking for a macabre read with some stand out gruesome moments, this is the book for you.
