review:
Evil Ernie Volume 1: Origin of Evil tells the origin story of Evil Ernie, a violent, horror comic where it's kind of hard to pick who you should be rooting for due to it's moral ambiguity. The violence is so excessive, dark and pervasive and the main protagonist is almost as evil as his enemy.
Ernie suffered a great loss on the day he was born. His father caused an accident that killed his brother and the mother who was carrying him. In the care of a stepfamily that seems to abuse or neglect him, he gets to the point where he does an unspeakable act. Now he is on death row and facing execution. What happens next sets off a series of violence where Ernie tries to kill his pyschotic father to complete a pact with evil.
It's a dark, dark series. Possibly the darkest I've read. I'm not sure I like this character, but I'm not sure he's supposed to be liked. Excessive evil and violence that may appeal to some, but not to me.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
