Thirteen Steps #2


The next review for today is Thirteen steps #2
This Book is written by Hester and Satterlee and Peciled by Mellon.
The art is great. It is in black and white and usually i am averse to this but this book has changed my opinion on this. The art is a little cartoony but it fits perfectly with the story. I love the facial expression and how distinct they are.
The writing is very well paced. I kept wanting to read the next page and I also found myself wanting for more when the last page was turned. What more can you ask for in a story.
The story is very unique. We have a small town Baseball player that is unhappy with himself. We follow his family and his love life as well as his interaction with his religion. Oh one thing i forgot to mention is that he is a fucking werewolf and after he does a kill he is incredibly remorseful about this. It is due to this remorse that he seeks out a step program for the unnatural. In this issue we follow our protagonist through his many tribulations and the end is an amazing scene that happens in the woods. Fuck i want to say more about this but i really don't want to spoil it for anyone.
Support an indie title, people. this book is really good. And if you do not like horror books then still give this book a try because i think it is more about the relationship of the hero (if a werewolf can be a hero) then it is a horror book.
maybe more later.
