A Legacy of Violence Vol. 1 by Rus Wooton, Cullen Bunn, Andrea Mutti
4.0
I really liked Cullen Bunn’s A Legacy of Violence, and am excited to read further installments in the series! Bunn builds suspense artfully throughout the story, and his pacing is perfect. I was easily drawn into the plot from the very first page. The visual aesthetic of the artwork pairs wonderfully with the dark mystery confronted by the characters, and the composition of different scenes throughout the story was amazing.
Going into the book, I was a little nervous about reading it due to the gore implied by the cover. Many graphic novels I have read that included horror themes seemed to rely a little too much on the gore itself instead of fully developing the plot and crafting an interesting world. However, this is definitely not the case in A Legacy of Violence. The gore included in the story never felt like too much, and each moment of violence added to the storyline in concrete ways. I loved the overall plot, and am already looking forward to the next volume’s release!
