review:

'Chasing The Dead' is a graphic novel adaptation of the novel with the same title by Joe Schreiber and adapted by Matthew Scott and Tim Westland. It's a horrific story told well in this style, but be warned that it is quite dark. The cover should tip you off to that.



Sue's daughter has been kidnapped and the kidnapper is leading her down a trail that will lead her down a path to a deadly secret in her past and that of the supernatural force that has her daughter. She'll collect clues, find unusual allies, and make gruesome discoveries. The killer leaves her disturbing surprises. Will she find a way to stop this from happening over and over again? What do the dismemembered statues of the same person in every town mean?



It all adds up to a thrilling ride with capable art by Dietrich Smith. The adaptation is by Matthew Scott and Tim Westland. Since I haven't read the original novel, I don't know how it compares, but the story races along at a breakneck pace and there is plenty of tension built in. Included are the original covers in their pen and ink and final color versions as well as a sketch gallery of the main characters Sue and Hamilton.
