review:
'Cassio #1: The First Assassin' by Stephen Desberg with art by Henri Recule is a graphic novel that takes place in Ancient Rome and in the modern world.

The story begins with an attack on a lawyer in Ancient Rome. Then it cuts to a group of archaeologists trying to put his story together. Apparently, this Cassio supposedly dies and comes back for revenge, but that is a story for a later volume. This one tells the details of his life leading up to the attack.

The problem is that it's a larger story and we don't get much in the first volume. There isn't enough story to invest in any of the characters, including the modern day ones.

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