Bone Parish Vol. 1 by Cullen Bunn
3.0

Interesting story with dark themes and well made characters.

I enjoyed the set up here. It has a family who's in some weird ass business of creating a drug that makes you see the dead. However, someone wants to buy them out. Of course that won't go well and they strike them, killing someone in the family in the process. This causes the family to take it into their own hands.

The art is solid with distinct character designs though the action is lacking and looks a bit stiff. I enjoyed the pacing and story as it's something pretty original though none of the characters really hooked me in. The ending is the best part however, and made me want to read the next volume. A 3 out of 5.
