This is actually a Comics-Prose, which is fusing images in the background but the story is told in a novel format. It's not my favorite thing but it worked pretty damn well here.

It's about a man name Hunter Rose, a famous Novelist who also happens to become an assassin and tus begins his murdering ways. It talks about building a empire to control the crime while a Man-wolf named Argent is hunting him. Argent actually works with the police to stop Hunter Rose. It sounds silly but it's taken semi-seriously and it works. You get sucked into this world quickly and then when Stacy Palumbo comes in, a daughter of a mobster who is killed, she is adopted by Hunter Rose. But Stacy eventually befriends Argent, and eventually this leads to the two dueling once more to the death.

A twisted, dark, well told, and very interesting world is being build around tragic characters and I can't help but enjoy. For one who's not the biggest fan of Comics-Prose, this was done extremely well and I'll be reading more. A 4 out of 5.
