A Legacy of Violence Vol. 1 by Rus Wooton, Cullen Bunn, Andrea Mutti
1.0
Thank you Netgalley for offering me an ARC of a legacy of violence.
This did not seem to be the right read for me, I'm an avid horror reader and enjoyer of the genre however this comic came off a bit exploitative especially as it was based on the very real Unit 731 which existed during WWII. It seems disrespectful to the survivors and families of the victims who suffered the inhuman tortures in that place.
Apart from that, the killer of this comic was a very random person who came off quite laughably corny and did not relate at all to the story somehow and just seemed there for the shock value, just as the inhuman tortures of real life victims were used for shock value in this comic.
This is not at all what horror readers are looking for in a comic, it could have been done well and respectfully but it ended up to be a waste of time and effort.
