review:

When the asylum Declan Smith was in burned down in 1941, he managed to survive in a catatonic state where he never ages, but with a very low body temperature. In our time, a nurse named Reese has taken him home to observe him and to keep her company in her lonely life. What she doesn't know is that he is tied in with a supernatural character known as Nimble Jack who feeds of the insanity of people.



When Declan awakens, the battle with Nimble Jack is on. Declan can help cure those with mental issues, but at the cost of his own dwindling body heat. When Nimble Jack threatens Reese, Declan attempts to save her, but it may cost him the rest of his body heat.



Nimble Jack is a great character, kind of similar to the Joker. Art by Juan Ferreyra is truly gruesome. The striking cover should clue you in to how gruesome the book is. Story by Paul Tobin is engaging and interesting. We don't find out why Declan is in a mental hospital in 1941, but perhaps that is for future issues.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distriburs and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this graphic novel.
