Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. The October Faction is a graphic novel about the adventures of the retired monsters hunter Frederick Allan and his family. Initially was I a bit put off by the art in this volume, I thought it was too dark, too gritty, too weird looking, not at all that kind of art that I like when it comes to graphic novel, but in a strangely weird way I came to really like the art as the story progressed, it just suited the story perfectly. It's a dark story so the art short be dark and a bit weird. And, what a story, a monster hunting family man with a dark past and two quite odd children that very much want to be monster hunters also and we also have robot faced Dante out to kill the man who killed his "father" and an old friend of the family who happens to be a werewolf. In the end I just devoured the 120 page long graphic novel and now I want more! I received this copy from the publisher through Netgalley in return for an honest review! 3.5 Stars Read all my reviews on http://urlphantomhive.booklikes.com I'm still trying to broaden my reading sphere by trying all kinds of different graphic novel series. This was one of them. I'd seen some good reviews and was curious to find out more myself. And I'm glad I did. It was an interesting first instalment. Obviously the story about a family of monster hunters who're being hunted themselves as well is only starting in this first volume, so I can't tell how that's going to develop, but the characters so far seem very interesting. The art is very dark, but it fits the story well. Would recommend and I'm looking forward to the next volume. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Not sure what I expected from this one, as I hadn't heard of this title before. But I'm familiar with Steve Niles' work on 30 Days of Night, and knew it should probably be pretty good. It was VERY good! The story follows retired monster hunter (now teacher) Frederick Allen who's being forced back into this job because of a threat on his (very strange) family. This volume collects the first six issues, and basically sets up the story with little snippets of background so the reader isn't completely lost. The artwork is outstanding, and sufficiently dark and creepy, perfect for this type of story. I'll definitely be hunting down the next volume! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
