4.0 out of 5 stars
Exceeded my expectations, April 19 2010
This review is from: The Chill HC (Hardcover)
I read "The Chill" cover-to-cover in one sitting, even though I wasn't planning to. I just couldn't put it down. Jason Starr and Mick Bertilorenzi deliver an amazing book: it exceeded any expectations I had about it.
I'm not big on the supernatural, so before reading "The Chill" I wasn't sure about the whole «druids/ritual sacrifices/celtic lore» aspects of it, but these elements are skillfully woven into the story, and early on I was hooked. The story draws you in and you find yourself going along with the more fantastical aspects of it. Oh, and nice twist at the end! Didn't see that one coming.
Contrary to other² Vertigo Crime books, the art is clear, crisp and never confusing. That really made the entire reading experience more enjoyable.
I'd no idea who Jason Starr was prior to reading "The Chill". I'll check out his other work. Mick Bertilorenzi's art is easily one of the nicest to look at, from all the Vertigo Crime books released so far. Let's hope the next books from this imprint continue to deliver top-shelf art. 4 stars.
