review:
'The Rattler' by Jason McNamara with art by Greg Hinkle is a dark, bloody story of crime and obsession. I thought it was pretty good, but I felt like there were times it was a bit hard to follow.

Best-selling author Stephen Thorn lost his fiancee 10 years ago. They were stranded on the side of the road when a stranger stopped to help, then took off with Stephen's fiancee and left him on the side of the road. To say he's obsessed with what happened is an understatement. When the guy responsible escapes from parole, Stephen is put in a life and death struggle. When he hears his fiancee's voice coming from the parolee, he sets out to uncover more clues about her whereabouts. Two cops find the trail Stephen is leaving and try to stop him from acting outside the law.

I liked the story and the art was okay. The story and art seemed to jump a couple times and it took me a bit to catch up. People were suddenly in a different location. This is the nature of sequential art, but it felt a bit uneven. The story is quite gruesome all the way through, but it was different enough that I liked it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
