Well...

Hmm...

Er...

That is to say...

The art is absolutely stunning. The story reminds me of a Kill Bill on a crack mixed with steroids. It's ultra-brutal, bloody, and fast. The plot is thin, but if you dig the convention that shouldn't be a problem.

Worth reading as long as you don't approach graphic novels too seriously and extreme violence doesn't trigger visceral reaction in you.

If something is described as an homage to Takashi Miike, of course I am going to read it. And in this case, it is an accurate description. Sang is mute, but he is one of the most foulmouthed and cuttingly witty characters you will encounter in a comic this year. A whole lot of brutal fun.

2,5/5. A very personal style and great originality for the illustration, but unfortunately as far as the illustrations are unique, the story is a highly déjà-vu concept. Too bad because in term of drawing this artist is holding something!

Fans of Old Man Logan would surely enjoy this. This book is brutal, but it is worth sticking with to the end. You never know someone's story, and you should always stick up for what you believe is right.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this in exchange for an honest review.
