Review: Dream Thief Volume 1

Dream Thief Volume 1 by Jai Nitz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I rather enjoyed this book. John Lincoln steals a mask from a museum and after putting it on begins to channel the dead in their quest for vengeance. This comes with blackouts and intense experiences of the final moments of the dead. Then there are all the regular parts of his life that he has to juggle in between murdering bad guys. I thought it all came together rather well.

The book starts out fairly disorienting as John and the reader come in on the aftermath of his first victims (targets?). There is a cinematic feel to the book, especially when the it goes back to show scenes in which John has blacked out. The art is a little stiff at times (forgive me), and that is really the only drag on this book. I liked this more and more as I read further into the book. For those looking for a non-superhero comic, this is a pretty good choice. I would definitely read the next volume.
