The Violent by Ed Brisson

[rjpb]

A big thumbs up for this Image series, now two issues in. I also recommend Brisson's Murder Book.

 

Despite the title, this is not an a hyper violent gorefest, but a gritty crime drama in the same vein as Brubaker's Criminal.

 

 

For crime comic fans - I also suggest buying Rich Tommaso's Dark Corridor if you're not already. A tad less grounded in realism in terms of both art and story, but solidly entertaining gritty crime thriller. By far Tommaso's best work IMHO.

Thanks, been meaning to check both of these out.

Sheltered was one of my favorites and I bought The Violent #1 when it came out but forgot about it. Read it today and heading to the LCS to get issue 2

Ed Brisson does good work. Recommended.

Finishing up next issue with #5. Said they might do another arc through another format.

 

Really enjoyed this one. Wish it could have continued through Image.

I was sad to read at the end of #4 that the series was ending. I sure hope they can find some other way to put out more.
