review:
This is not a cohesive story, but rather 2 mini-series tied together from 2 separate books in the Grimm Fairy Tales universe. Both are interesting, and I liked them better than most stories in this universe, but my preference was for the first story.
In the first story, we meet Elijah who is a modern day zombie hunter, but we find out he is much more. We learn in flashbacks that he was a former slave who fell in love with his master’s daughter and ran away. A zombie curse is sent to hunt him down and kill him and his lover. He proves very handy with the whip that was used to beat him. Many zombies die in gruesome ways. Back in the modern era, we find him still using the whip to fight zombies and he discovers a relative.
In the second story, Masumi is a sword-wielding demon hunter. We learn about her past. We learn how she met her boyfriend and how he feels watching her leave to fight demons every night. When demons based on the seven deadly sins attack, Masumi has to make some tough choices to fight back and make sacrifices she may not be willing to make.
Art in the Elijah story is pretty good, but less so in the Masumi story, but I enjoyed both stories more than past stories I’ve read in this series. It did help that they were about zombies and demons. Not bad.
I was given a review copy of the graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this graphic novel.
