Customer Reviews

Shocked at how good this was

Wow, this book was great. I think is may be the best thriller comic book that I have ever read. From unique, unusual characters to several twists that take the reader off guard, I was on the edge of my seat. All 3 primary creators involved are relatively new to comics; I was so impressed with the accomplishments of this book taking that into account. Truly an overlooked gem.

Skinwalkers

It's an interesting mixture of the supernatural and crime drama. Every so often the story pauses for a cultural lesson and those are equally fascinating.

enjoyable but not outstanding

i was especially interested in this GN b/c the authors have most recently worked on the new new mutants (x-men) series. this book was pretty straightforward, but a decent read. the characters and plot are engaging (this book is most often compared to a cross between tony hillerman and the x-files), although it felt to me like this was an intro to the two main characters and that there should be more. the ending sort of fizzled out. the art is decent, although the lettering is a bit small. the extras, including some info about native americans, are mostly worthwhile. all in all, not a top recommendation, but better than a lot of others.

Action, suspense, and gruesome murder...

This book is the comic debut of writing team Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, and all I can say is WOW! In just four issues, they craft a suspense filled, character driven story that could go up against any of the best episodes of the X-files.Federal Agent Greg Haworth partners up with reservation Officer Anne Adakai to track down a killer who takes and wears his victims' skins. With great art from Brian Hurtt (Queen & Country), the twists and turns in this mystery will keep you guessing to the very end!I can't recommend this book enough!
