Sinossi
Milwaukee, 1973. Scende la neve e un Babbo Natale coperto di sangue compie inimmaginabili atrocità su due ragazzi. Cinquant'anni dopo, uno scrittore tormentato intervista il cosiddetto "killer deviato", che da dietro le sbarre continua a sostenere la propria innocenza. Mentre un nuovo Natale si avvicina, il passato ritorna a passi ovattati e brandendo un'ascia affilata... James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, The Closet), vincitore di molteplici Premi Eisner, lo straordinario disegnatore Joshua Hixson (Batman/Fortnite: Fondazione, The Plot) e il letterista Premio Eisner Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou danno vita a una storia horror oscura e natalizia che non risparmia nessun tabù.

A mopey comic book writer is trying his hand at telling a true crime story. As a young lad who was just starting to realize he was a little different from the other boys, hearing the story of the pervert serial killer intrigued and frightened him. You've essentially got a young gay boy learning throu Leggi tutto
A very Tynion book, in that it only tells half a story, which makes it kind of impossible to grade. The art is good, the set up is interesting enough, but yeah, yet another Tynion book ending on a cliffhanger. Can he stick the landing..? (Picked up a review copy through Edelweiss)
Creepy looking serial killer!
Another super-dark horror graphic novel from the current king of super-dark horror graphic novels, James Tynion IV's "The Deviant" is a serial killer thriller set during Christmas 2023. Milwaukee 1972: A crazed psycopath dressed in a mall Santa suit is caught after a killing spree of young men. Dubbe Leggi tutto
READ THIS. I'm not kidding. This was so good, I was actually upset when I got to the end and realized it was only Volume 1. Tynion is a powerhouse comic author, and one of my favorites. In my normal reviews, I would dive into a summary of the book, complete with spoilers, but I feel like the back co Leggi tutto
While the premise of the story and the theme are fascinating and adequately built, I found it too bloody for my taste. Seeing those atrocities being committed in a graphic way just did not work well for me. I felt an immediate retraction in my interest level and alas, couldn't enjoy it much. DNFed at Leggi tutto
In the 70s a santa clause style killer took the lives of several teen boys - they suspected their homosexual boss who did have some creeper pictures of the boys but he claims innocence in the murders. Now he is being profiled by a young (gay) comic writer doing a true crime thing and then the killin Leggi tutto
Fifty years ago, a killer dressed as Santa brutally killed two boys before attacking a police officer while making his escape. Now, a young man with somewhat of an obsession over true crime, especially this one, wants to create a comic book based on what came to be known as The Deviant killer. As he Leggi tutto
