review:

'Nailbiter Volume 1: There Will Be Blood' is a trippy and gruesome graphic novel. It's also a story that continues, so just know that going in.



The series is named after a character that likes biting the nails of his victims, but he's only one of 16 that all seem to come from a small town in Oregon. When an NSA agent gets a call from a friend stating that he's found a link, he travels to the town. He finds a strange town obsessed, but not obsessed with it's legacy. He finds a young deputy trying to keep the peace. He finds a killer he thought he put away running loose after the jury cut them loose. What he doesn't find is his friend. As he gets more and more involved, things get more and more gruesome.



There is humor here, although it is decidedly dark in nature. The killers and the way they operate are gruesome, but humorous. The art is pretty good too. It's an ongoing series, so this volume doesn't complete the current story arc. I'll just have to wait for the rest. With the lights on.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
