The October Faction, Vol. 1
by Steve Niles
Ok, the story of this is cool, if not a little over-used, of a family that hunts monsters and there's supernatural powers, ghosts, werewolves, all that. The characters are fun, the banter fun, but I felt a disconnect somewhere in this. The art isn't supposed to be pretty. It's slashy, quick lines, simple, lots of use of smoke/fog texture overlaying a quick messy line and coloring. It's definitely a style that does a great job creating a dark horror comic
...but
...am I the only person bothered by the use of copy/pasted panels? Or the excessive use of the blur tool? I guess it's a way to create a feeling of unease. Was this a web comic or something that had to be made quickly? I guess I can't blame the creator, comics are time consuming to create, but entire panels were repeated and I guess once I noticed it bugged me.
ANYWAY, it's still a decent graphic novel and a fun read, I guess I've just read better or GNs recently that caught my interest more.
