review:
'The October Faction Volume 1' by writer Steve Niles and with art by Damien Worm is a creepy atmospheric graphic novel about a family of monster hunters.
Frederick Allan was a monster hunter. He and his ex-partner, Lucas, haven't talked in a long time. That could be because Lucas is a werewolf. Frederick's children Geoff and Vivian seem to have his talents for finding trouble and they want to get into the family business. When their mother is attacked by something strange, they get a chance to help fight back against it.
I love the mood of this comic. It's all creepy houses, and ethereal ghosts floating around. The main story has elements of pain and loss. I really liked what Steve Niles has created here. The art by Damien Worm has a darker color to it, and the art fits very well with the story being told. I liked the sharp lines on the werewolf, and some of the other ghosts and creatures. They lent an extra menace to the art. It's well done, and I would definitely like to read more.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
