review:
'Rasputin Volume 2' by Alex Grecian with art by Riley Rossmo continues Rasputin's story in modern day America.
Apparently, Rasputin is alive and well and running around with a female candidate named Harrison who is running for president. When an attempt is made on her life, Rasputin uses his special "gift" to help her. A lone reporter sees this and now wants to get his story. The story of his life is then told in a series of flashbacks: the people he has saved, the ghosts of the ones he didn't that linger around him. Woven into the story is Abraham Zapruder (father of Kennedy assassination filmer George Zapruder). We also run into Nicholas and Alexandra.
I like the scope of the story. I like the touches of magic that weave through Rasputin's life, not always for the best. The art was ok, but not my favorite. It's an interesting story. I might have to go back and read the first issue now.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Image Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
