A good little werewolf story. Nothing too groundbreaking, but the artwork was fantastic. I liked how it got scratchier and rougher when the werewolf was present. The use of color was interesting as well. I didn't expect the ending.
If I had read some of the negative reviews here I would probably have missed this masterwork. Stunning, atmospheric panels and a fantastic use of the medium (comic book). I loved the splashes of red that are scattered a bit everywhere in the book whenever there’s a blood loss. Such solid writing - especially the dialogue - and exceptional art that deserves some extra eyeball-time to truly appreciate when flipping through the pages.
The perfect graphic novel to kick off the month of October. Terrific art, and scary plotline, and intriguing characters. No one was quite what they seemed on the surface and motivations were complex. A very satisfying, quick read to jump-start a month of spooky reading.
Absolutely loved this werewolf story and what a father is willing to do to save his son. Artwork was also on point. Definitely a must read.
I liked this look at a different kind of werewolf story. I wished there was more as the book was short. Anton could have been explored more. The family drama was good and helped move the story along. I thought Laney's actions were odd at times, especially at the beginning. The end was tied up much too quickly and conveniently. The art was a great match to the story. Overall, a good story that never got a chance to breathe.
average comic. comic follows a father desperately trying to make money to save his dying son. he traps the werewolf that has been terrorizing the community, for a reward offered by the community. but for some reason, he doesn't collect right a way. :( the plot is what you except on a short run. artwork is awesome though.
This was bad.
I read curse in the trade format. For this reason I believe that my experience may differ from those that read it issue to issue. The pacing is reminiscent to an episode of The Twilight Zone. We get to know the characters in brief, the stage is set, chaos ensues and while the sequence of events is predictable the art style compliments the story well and the plot is absent of filler. Two things that I think many have missed are the best points of the story in my opinion. The monster doesn't put o...
Probably closer to 2.5 stars but I’m feeling generous. The dialogue is horrible, making the exposition filled first episode slow. After that it picks up. The plotting could have used more time to breathe and less idiot plot.
Laney Griffith’s wife was murdered and his son has leukemia. Oh and here’s another kick in the nards: his money’s running out because of the stupid American healthcare system which bankrupts the sick and vulnerable. So when a maniac killer is running about the woods near his home slashing up innocents, Laney’s forced to take a major risk in trying to hunt down the murderer and claim the sizeable bounty. And then he finds out the killer’s a kerazy werewolf, say whaaaaaaat?! If a comic could be a
While the story itself is ok, the main art from Colin Lorimer is solid and the ending was quite an interesting way to end this story
A friend lent me the four issues of this series and I have to see I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. What I knew going in: this was a horror comic from a small press. What I took away from it: this is a fairly unique take on a werewolf story where life's situations are portrayed as being far more cruel than the actual monster of the piece. Recommended reading for anyone into darker comics that both say something significant while spinning a thrilling yarn.
There are one or two interesting ideas in this story of a werewolf in the modern world, but overall, it's lacking. The 'twist' is clear from the first issue, and the decisions made by pretty much everyone in the book seem really dumb. Either the author has a really low esteem for humanity or he couldn't figure out a more believable way to get the characters to fit his story. The art is jagged and stark, which is in keeping with the story, but makes it unpleasant to read. There really isn't anyth...
AmazingThis is one of the best werewolf stories I've ever read. It's not just about gore and violence, it's about a father desperate to save his dying son. All the stupid remakes Hollywood constantly makes and they're paging up something great like this? Amazing. Read it!
Une BD avec de grands points forts, mais aussi quelques faiblesses. Les illustrations sont magnifiques, un peu «trash», mais avec un style qui sort de l'ordinaire et que j'ai beaucoup apprécié. L'histoire contient en quelque sorte deux histoires, très liées certes, mais pour lesquels j'ai eu un intérêt très différent. La partie avec le loup-garou est excellente, un cinq sur cinq sans la moindre hésitation. par contre, les parties avec les polciiers et avec l'enfant malade, brise l'action, apport...
I want you to bear in mind that this 4 issue collection is only 128 pages long. In it, there is a story line about a young boy with Leukemia. Another follows his father, whose glory dreams were shattered, who lost his wife in a horrible fashion and who would do anything for his ill son. Then there is the boy's aunt, the local sheriff, who is up for re-election and is trying to solve a series of grizzly murders, while also looking out for her nephew and harboring suspicions about her brother in l...
The series begins showing a monster in man form chained up in a basement. That and the dark, realistic art style tells us that we're beginning a horror story, but we aren't sure what kind. The scene shifts to the difficulties ex-football hero Laney is having paying for his sick child's medical care, then to a mysterious creature that has been killing people in the woods, mangling them horrifically.As the story goes on it becomes clear that the monster is a werewolf--which also explains the serie...
I'm not one typically for werewolf stories but the cover of this intrigued me.certainly glad that I picked it up. this story tells the typical story of a lone in-car to a small remote town picking up and meeting someone once a month in a gruesome and grizzly fashion. Where it differs is in the approach it takes to family and the lengths that one will take to save a loved one no matter what the cost. How far would a person be willing to go to save the life of someone who only had days to live...
Issues #1-4
Well-illustrated. You know how with some plots, even though you know how they'll end, the authors still manage to keep it interesting? Curse totally lacks that. *womp, womp* It would have been more interesting if the wife hadn't died (not a spoiler), and she took an opposing stance against what the husband wanted to do. Or give that role to the sister-in-law. Not enough genuine conflict.
