That was...wow, just wow! The original short story was very, very good, but this just took it up a notch.
A woman comes back from the military (without honor) where she was an interpreter who helps with interrogation. She was not only good at it, but enjoyed it a bit much.
In just over a hundred pages, the writer and illustrator managed to invest you in this woman you simply cannot like and also make you feel fear on her behalf. Fear for her. That's quite a feat when you don't care for someone.
The illustrations were spot on. I'm so glad I picked this up.

An interesting package, containing a graphic adaptation of a Joe Hill novella, then the novella itself and finally an unrelated graphic story--which I liked quite a bit more than the primary story. The Thumbprint comic is an echo of classic Creepy stories and not very imaginative. Plus count me not a fan of Vic Malhotra's art.

I've read this at the library in about one hour and I was surprised by the graphic, brutal stories presented and the way it was sketched on pages. Haven't read the original novel, but I feel the story was well covered in this graphic novel. It was a good read for a little break, with a kinda unexpected plot twist in the grandious finale.
Tw for the book: torture, blood, gore.

I'm not interested in war crimes and war criminals maybe this story was about a war criminal ultimately getting punished but I got too uncomfortable reading her memories

Good story, wish there was more of it. Didn’t really care for the ending.

This is the first time I've been disappointed by something Joe Hill has produced.
