Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 10 Up–Federal conservation officer Iris Shaw is murdered in a bombing by a bunch of right-wing extremists in the midst of a rural land-rights struggle. Her killers have no idea that they also destroyed her unborn child. Although Iris wasn't sure that she was going to keep the baby, she still mourns the fact that she never got to make that decision before she died. With the help of the Crow, she returns from the dead in order to avenge not only her own death, but also that of the fetus. Armed with nothing but her anger and a few weapons, Iris hunts down her killers one by one and teaches them what it's like to suffer and lose your family. She also begins to wonder: If exacting ultimate pain is the goal, when does vengeance cross the line to brutality? Once she has killed her killers, what happens next? What is the price to the soul? This graphic novel lacks the original bizarre and captivating artwork of J. O'Barr, but Maleev's black-and-white illustrations manage to capture the horror and brutality of the original Crow with minimal effort. The story is a trifle predictable, but fans will not want to miss this version.–Erin Dennington, Fairfax County Public Library, Chantilly, VA

Book Description
In the midst of a rural land-rights struggle, federal conservation officer Iris Shaw is murdered in a bombing by a rag-tag band of right-wing activists. Little do her killers know that Iris wasn't their only victim and now, with the help of the Crow, Iris must exact vengeance not only for her own death but also that of her unborn baby. Raised from her grave and armed with cold-blooded hatred and a few deadly weapons, Iris hunts down her killers one by one. But if exacting ultimate pain is the goal, when does vengeance cross the line to brutality? And what is the price to the soul?

Worth reading, worth buying if you're major crow fan.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flesh & Blood Collection (Paperback)
Very cool book. Pretty cool story line, most of the drawings are very cool. Others, it looked like they didn't know what else to put in and still be able to put in all the dialogue. Seemed that they were trying too hard to make her outfit look like the crow in the movie (minus the trench coat). Definately worth seeing to see a chick kicking butt!veGAMan infErior

A bitter Sweet tail of love and revenge.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Flesh & Blood Collection (Paperback)
The Crow Flesh and Blood is a great story about love revenge and all things crow. The only drawback I found was the lack of the famous art of James O' Bar but the story more than makes up for it. All in all great.
