Remender’s storyline really is being driven by the fantastic artwork of Andre Lima Araujo and it is this pairing that is the catalyst or such a successful book. I have no issue with this at all, in fact I prefer reading in trade or at least longer form storytelling than 20-odd pages, but from a review perspective I’m going to let this one complete its first arc and then come back for the full thing.

I wouldn't say I could tell you who these people actually are, how they got into this situation, or whether the reader is even meant to know yet. As I said last week , this current batch of pages is a particularly important part of the book, so it feels amazing to be fleshing it out and seeing it come to life.No spoilers here, if you like a simple tale of revenge, with some thriller-y elements, this is for you.

The narrative's slow-burn approach allows for character immersion, but when uncertainty persists without clarity, it can weigh down the experience.

The pacing of the book is really intriguing as well as like the first issue, there is very little dialogue to the book but when there is, it only serves to deepen the mystery.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Tension builds, while very few is said at the start, we see a common man evolve into something more. The action does dominate the book from the halfway point on, which bothered me because I wanted more information on who the characters were and why things were happening, but the action is done superbly so it’s engaging, if a bit shallow.That said, this issue has solidified the thought in my mind, that this is a book best ingested as a whole. In perhaps a potential meta commentary on where the story is headed, the unassuming preamble that is A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance belies a much more brutal, much more sinister story.
