Review:

I didn't hate it but it did not live up to my expectations! The graphics were nice, especially the few extra at the end, but the "save-the-damsel-in-distress" plot wasn't as exhilarating as I wanted it to be. I loved the whole idea of this graphic novel following a serial killer main character and his sex doll girlfriend but it could have been handled better. It felt like it was lacking in the dialogue department because I often found myself getting bored during non aggressive scenes. 

Also, the characters had very little to no development, basically they were your average criminals and everyone that wasn't a criminal seemed like they didn't belong. It almost seems like they were only added to have a full roster of characters but they didn't have a purpose and ultimately weren't really needed.   

Although, this is definitely a gruesome and weird story, I just wish I would have been more invested in the story itself instead of being bored 50% of the time. To sum it up I guess you can say I'm simply disappointed. 😞😞
