review:

'The Crow: Pestilence' is another chapter in the Crow saga. For those unfamiliar, each story follows another violent death victim as they get revenge. This is a standalone story, but follows that mythos. Some spoilers may follow.



The story follows a group of corrupt coyotes bringing people across the border from Mexico. These aren't nice guys. When a young boxer named Salvador won't take a fall, violent things happen to him and his wife and child. The crow enters shortly afterward to take his revenge, tracking the bad guys down in his own unstoppable way.



It wasn't a bad story, but some of the dialogue seemed a bit stereotypically demeaning. I also wasn't crazy about the art style. It wasn't consistent and at times seemed to lack depth.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
