review:
'Shutter, Vol. 3: Quo Vadis' by Joe Keatinge with gorgeous art by Leila del Duca is one weird head trip. It might have helped had I read Volume 2, but then again, I'm not certain.

Kate Kristopher is writing a journal in Venice, Italy, which is about as normal as scenes go in this volume. It's only later that we find out she has amnesia (or maybe knew if we had read the aforementioned Volume 2). We do get caught up on things during a peyote trip, which seems about par for this book and we end up on Leonis where things just seem to be going even further sideways.

With new characters being introduced and weird scenes, I think this is a book you either just go with or you walk away. I felt a bit adrift. It's so violent at times, but there are these walking cat alarm clocks and talking lions. The disparity of this environment with a darker story is good but feels a bit untethered, but perhaps that's exactly the point. I do like the art style quite a lot, and I am interested in reading more in this series.

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.
