review:
'Dead Man's Party' by Jeff Marsick with art by Barnett Scott is a wild ride from start to finish. While I was less crazy about the art style, the plot kept me flipping pages.

Ghost is one of the best hit men in the world. When his doctor gives him a fatal diagnosis, he knows his time is up, but he wants to go out in style. He decides to have a friend throw him a dead man's party. Basically a set number of hit men over a set number of days tries to kill him. If one succeeds, they get bragging rights, but they also inherit his fortune.

Ghost finds a reason to live, but now he's got hit men on his trail. He also finds out he was set up and it might lead him to a job he did in his past. With nowhere to go and not knowing who to trust, can he survive to the end of his dead man's party?

I loved the clever story and it moved at a fast pace. The art was a different style for a graphic novel. The panels looked painted, but things looked a bit fuzzy. I prefer more defined lines in my graphic novels. It was easy enough to follow along though, and I didn't completely hate the art. I had a fun time reading this one.

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