This graphic novel, while all over the place, at times really comes together to make an interesting story. There are characters you think you recognize but realize are completely different from what you’re expecting. Red Hood probably does have some reference to Little Red Riding Hood, since Cinderella shows up later in the book. However, these are not the fairytales you grew up with. Werewolf’s are just one of the creatures once they taste human flesh, they must be killed or your entire village is done for. A small village hires a red hood, who happens to be a cursed girl/woman who is not only good at her job but recognizes talent in others. The talent that VELOU has comes from his need to protect his village and a want of revenge. After what happens in the village, he decides to try and join the hunter’s guild. We leave off at the school and find out that one of the village citizens you thought dead is still alive. This book is a quick read and is interesting enough that I think I need book number two.
