This story feels too highly of its mystery. It feels like a bunch of bland murder mystery cliches interspersed with extremely graphic gore. I was startled by just how gore-filled this comic was! I knew it involved a lot of murder, obviously, but the deaths are so gore-filled that it completely distracts from the plot. This plot also had so many moving parts that tried to be crazy plot twists that just felt boring. The art style was fine, but it also felt very basic. This story was just a massive flop for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
