SERIES PREMIERE
Bree Hale has left a lot behind in her life. Crime. The military. But she can't leave behind her own family, and when the local crime boss puts a hit out on her brother, there's nothing she won't do to save him. Absolutely nothing.
Skybound's pulse-pounding action series returns, with writer JUSTIN JORDAN (REAVER, LUTHER STRODE) and artist BENJAMIN TIESMA delivering an explosive tale of revenge like you've never seen before!
Benjamin Tiesma's art is awesome. The action in the conclusion of this issue is rendered beautifully and the build up in tension is conveyed brilliantly through the panels. Read Full Review
Justin Jordan and Benjamin Tiesmas Dead Body Road: Bad Blood #1 is a brilliant small-town tale of crime, punishment, and homemade justice that is easily going to burn up the shelves as the next big series of the year. Read Full Review
With the return of Bree Hale in Dead Body Road: Bad Blood, it does not take long for her to get back into the action she thought she had left behind. This time the job is all about family, but that does not make the situation any less dangerous. Read Full Review
I think where the #1 falters for me is that there is so much innuendo about what happened that, as a new reader to the series, I don't understand the context and why everything is shrouded in shadows, and it's not as readily apparent that this is a follow up series from the get. But, to its credit, Jordan and Tiesma did create an engaging sandbox that does seem to work as a standalone, but only time will tell if that is truly the case. Read Full Review
A raw first issue of rural vigilante justice with an absolute boss of a protagonist. Read Full Review
Overall this was a fantastic read. I hadn't read a crime story since last year so it's refreshing to have a go after all this time and get this much quality. If you're a fan of crime comics then you're definitely picking this up for it is even better than the first iteration and I'm expecting it to maintain that standard. Read Full Review
If I were being overly critical, Id have to say that there might not be a specific hook or something decidedly new in this first issue. Sure, we have a strong, captivating, female lead which makes a pleasant change from the stereotypical grizzled male, and this looks more Appalachian than Western, but it feels like a traditional vengeance tale. There are some big plus points in the writing and visuals, and with scope to lead a blazing trail of bloody violence, let me get onboard! Read Full Review
The foundation's an interesting one despite its familiarity, and now we just have to wait and see if Dead Body Road: Bad Blood can differentiate itself enough to truly stand out. Read Full Review
