A review by zare_i
Men of Wrath by Jason Aaron
4.0
This was a fast read. Story is about the aged assassin Ira Rath. Hired by local power-holders to take care of problems they face he does not care if he is killing men, women or children. He lives in a deep isolation and as a monk haunted by his family history, history of cold-blooded murderers that have nothing but mayhem in their blood since the ancient feud over sheep.
But when everyone hears that he is not so young anymore and when his son becomes the target of the local loan sharks everything changes. It is now man of (w)Rath family against the impossible odds.
Its a dark tale, all characters are deadly people with little or no scruples and ready for a an all-out war to the very annihilation of the other side. Ira's son and his fiancee are the the most positive characters but even the son shows predilection for crime and violence.
Its a tale of family trying to survive while being branded as eternally damned in very closed-off and religious part of US.
Art is good and what is most important consistent throughout the entire book.
If you are fan of straight up action story (say like "Banshee") you will enjoy this one.
Recommended.
