Nottingham, Vol. 1: Death and Taxes by David Hazan, Shane Connery Volk
2.0
Do the words “steal from the rich to give to the poor” ring any bells for you? Well, Nottingham is a fast paced, grim dark re-telling of the noble Robin Hood.
Though, in here we see ‘Hood’ and his Merry Men killing tax collectors and power brokers, people who he thinks are rotting England from its core, whilst the sheriff is trying to catch him without caring of the people he will lose in doing so.
Despite the fact that the art is not quite my favorite, it is perfect for the grim dark tone of the story. We have a bunch of morally gray, unlikeable characters so this volume didn’t work for me like I thought it would.
Also I would only recommend this to people who don’t get triggered by explicit violent scenes. It is not meant to be read by a younger audience for sure.
