review:

In 'The Dream Thief, Volume 1' a strange aboriginal mask and a series of restless dead mix with a dead end loser for interesting results. At first, I wasn't sure what I was reading, but the story really won me over.



John Lincoln is between jobs (stage magician and filmmaker). He's content to be a layabout, until one night he takes an Aboriginal mask from a museum. Now everytime he wakes up, he doesn't know where he is and there are dead people around him that he kills. He has a strange connection with the dead, even having their memories and skills. The murders take him all over the South, but could they be related? And if so, what do they have to do with John's father in prison?



It's an interesting premise. Kind of like The Mask meets The Crow. Sort of. John Lincoln is in way over his head, but seems to be able to worm his way out of things. Story by Jai Nitz is over the top and pretty intense. Art by Greg Smallwood is really good. I'm curious to know where this is going.



I was given a review copy by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this intense graphic novel.
