A Legacy of Violence Vol. 1 by Rus Wooton, Cullen Bunn, Andrea Mutti
3.0

A Legacy of Violence is...well violent.

We have our main lead, Nick, trying to figure out what's happening. Throughout this book we have a murderer basically chopping people up and setting up traps. While he does that, Nick's past is slowly revealed. We're trying to piece together how it's all connected. Is Nick part of the killer? Is it his other personality? What is the truth behind 731?

There's plenty of intrigue here. The art also does a goodjob setting the tone, this is a nasty looking book with how disgusting some of the deaths are. I enjoyed the pacing, fast paced, and lots of questions with a few answers here or there. My biggest drawback is so far I can't or don't feel the attachment to the characters I was hoping to have. So the big twist didn't hit me as much as I hoped. But at a quick paced read, it was enjoyable and I'll check out volume 2.
