Demon, Volume 1 by Jason Shiga
4.0
[a:Jason Shiga|469075|Jason Shiga|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1391381898p2/469075.jpg] loves mazes and puzzles. It's very well documented in his deceptively simple looking art. With Demon, we get a dark as Hell puzzle. What happens if, having lost everything, and committed a heinous crime, you decided to end it all, only to find out that you couldn't die?
Why or how he can't die is, initially a mystery that that protagonist (Jimmy) solves after committing many more equally heinous crimes.
I'm not usually a fan of books that center around morally reprehensible people but there's something about Jimmy's exasperation, initial, cluelessness, and desire not to have someone else in control of his reprehensible power that had me rooting for him.
