A review by rmgebhardt
Sorrow by Seth Peck, Rick Remender, Francesco Francavilla
2.0
I'm not sure why I wanted to give Remender another shot after suffering through the train wreck that was Sea of Red... well, probably because I did enjoy The Last Days of American Crime... but anyways, Sorrow is another weak effort from Remender. It all feels very amateurish. This is a pretty standard bad B-movie in graphic novel form.
Kids end up lost, get to a "deserted" town, run into some weird people, have some crazy stuff happen, have it all explained in some convoluted storytelling from someone who randomly shows up, and then there's a quick climax that feels too brief and undercuts the supposed danger that everyone was in.
So if paint-by-numbers, badly paced, eye-rollingly written horror is your thing, then by all means grab this. You'd be better off finding something else to read, though.
