Anne's Reviews > The Case of the Bleeding Wall, Vol 1

Good concept, terrible execution.



To me, it felt like this was a graphic novelization of a book or tv show that everyone has read or seen but me. Like I should have already understood the backstory and quirks of these characters and was just reading this as a fun filler.



Who is Dana?
She's a paranormal investigator/exorcist who also writes books. Which is how Jana meets her. She's in the audience of a book signing with a friend of Dana's who says he'll introduce her (why Jana wants to meet her so badly is never explained) and then some monster pops up and Jana helps Dana fight it.
Dana says Jana can hop in the car and they head off to Italy together to solve a case.
WHAT?
For some reason, the new apprentice Jana was snack-obsessed and kept whining about food while they were in the middle of either fighting for their lives or doing other important non-food related activities.
Kind of like a Shaggy rip-off.



The story didn't flow, the plot was choppy, and the dialogue was unbearable.
I must be missing something because the few ratings this comic has are all pretty good.
