review:
'RunLoveKill, Vol. 1' by Jonathan Tsuei and Eric Canete is a pretty book to look at, but it seems to be all style over substance.

The Origami are a military group that runs the city of Prygat in some unknown future. Their former assassin, Rain Oshiro, is on the run from them. She's trying to get off-planet, but her escape routes keep getting blocked, or people near to her keep dying. The Origami are on the trail, and Rain thinks back to how she was first recruited by them. Sure, they have cool weapons and vehicles that look like folded origami, but they are also pretty vicious.

I just didn't care. It was a super quick read because lots of it doesn't have dialogue, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily easy to figure out what's going on. The first issue seems to have flashback panels for every other panel. By the time it ended, I barely understood what was going on, and didn't really feel for the protagonist. The digital covers are really cool, but that's not a reason to buy this.

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.
