Review: Riven by Bo Hampton and Robert Tinnell (Graphic Novel)

First. I have to say I have never read a paranormal horror graphic novel. The extent of my knowledge is almost none but I love the genre paranormal and almost everything with werewolves so…and there is this great strong woman… but not the classic type. And with this Month’s Event is thought it would be appropiate and something new for you to consider reading!

Riven is about Katy, a girl who was adopted from Romania as a young girl by an American family, but there is a horrible massacre in her past for unknown reasons. As she develops into maturity, odd events keep happening to her, and her curiosity brings her back to Romania where she uncovers her families secrets.

There are a lot of great things about this comic. The drawings are very good, dark and sinister, which is exactly the what the tone of this comic should be. The story line was also good but i missed here and there some inside information. One sexual scene was out of place and a little forced. Just because Katy is discovering that she is something else doesn’t have to be a reason to planed a scene of humping in a alley without cause. I thought that Katy was an interesting character and there were some good plot twists that I was not expecting.

For the paranormal lovers I can recommend this quick graphic novel! Just try it!

Like I said my knowledge is none. If you want more inside information you can read an interview/post on: http://www.themortonreport.com
