(I received a free copy of this book, through NetGalley, in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I know bits and pieces of the Crow mythos. I watched the television series and have the DVDs somewhere in my room (along with just about every other film and TV series I’ve been interested in…), so I know the general idea of the Crow.
This was a particularly violent comic book. That was to be expected, of course, from the subject matter, but I was a bit surprised by just how much torture was involved in this comic book. It’s really not for the faint-hearted.
The idea of the Crow is quite an interesting one and I was intrigued by the interactions between Salvadore and the crow. There were some things that I didn’t really think were explained very well, though. I also felt that the style of Salvadore’s past being told through flashbacks didn’t really work… especially because I kept getting confused about whether it was in the past or the present day at various points.
The artwork was good, but I felt that a few of the characters looked very similar to each other. There wasn’t much distinction to a couple of the characters.
I’m not sure I’d read a sequel to this. It would be interesting to see what happened to the characters later on, though, and I felt there were a lot of subplots that could be explored later on.
