A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance, Vol. 1 by Rick RemenderMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
Strong opening to the story!
I've found a lot of Remender's stories to be a bit average - he seems to have great ideas but doesn't really know how to captivate with his writing or character development.
This, however, speaks really well through it's minimal dialogue and narration; Remender gets out of the way and let's the art tell the story.
I really enjoyed the setup, though the blurb tells what's more of a mystery when reading. I wasn't sure how our protagonist was involved, and I wanted more back story, but was happy to wait.
The violence, when it comes, is brutal and not for the faint of heart. It's detailed and attention is paid to every wound inflicted, meaning if you're squeamish with body horror this may not be the best fit.
Ultimately this first volume was a great setup and I really enjoyed it.
Buddy read with Jet and Tasso
