This was extremely entertaining. Disturbing sometimes, little silly, but damn fine entertainment.

So Absolution is about a man who's a superhero who has had enough of the bullshit. He works with the police force to stop criminals. Except one day he stumbles upon a guy who is murdering children and replacing their body parts with toy doll parts. It's sick, it's disgusting, and he's had enough. John Dusk is living a broken life, not able to sleep because he sees the death of children and rapes and more from these criminals actions. So in killing these people he's able to be at peace with himself. However, he trying his best to stay off the radar of the cops, a lead detective being his girlfriend.

Good: The storyline is interesting. It doesn't paint either one as the right thing to do. Kill the worse of the worse? Sure the hero of the story believes that, the public does, but others do not. I like the balance, the message, and even the internal struggle between different characters. I also thought the pacing was really nice, quick, and worked well. The design of most of the heroes and villains was also pretty solid.

Bad: The art could be a little wonky and feel very stiff. I also thought the kitty happy person was useless, dumb, and overly sexual for no other reason than panty shots. The dumbest part by far.

Overall though this was a ton of fun. It doesn't cover new ground but it does do it pretty damn well. I enjoyed the cast, the dialog, and the pacing a lot. Besides some stiff art and one horrible character the graphic novel was highly entertaining. A 3.5 out of 5, bump to a 4.
