Review Overview

Written by Cullen Bunn with fantastic artwork from Andrea Mutti, A Legacy of Violence Vol. 2 picks up right where the first volume left off in this must-read horror comic book series of 2023.

The second volume of A Legacy of Violence takes readers on an even deeper dive into the horrific history of Dr. Nicholas Shaw’s family. With more great artwork like in volume one, readers will be awed by the emotions and details in each panel. Mutti’s style perfectly captures the dark and twisted tone of the story.

What makes A Legacy of Violence especially noteworthy is the fine line it walks between believable and unbelievable. It’s like a thrilling horror movie that has you jumping at every turn. Sure, the story may get a bit weird at times, but it always keeps you hooked. The village of Disante is in chaos, with both villagers and doctors disappearing at an alarming rate. This volume takes you deeper into the town’s dark secrets and makes you question what is real and what is not.

In addition to the suspenseful plot, the characters in this comic book series are complex and well-developed. Dr. Nicholas Shaw, in particular, goes on a journey of self-discovery as he uncovers more about his family’s past. The supporting characters are equally fascinating and add depth to the story. You can’t help but feel for the innocent villagers of Disante as they scramble for justice in the face of the town’s terror.

A Legacy of Violence Vol. 2 is a fantastic continuation of the comics series. With four issues to go, we can’t wait to see how the story wraps up. Horror fans, comic book lovers, and anyone looking for a thrilling read would be remiss to pass up on this series.

A Legacy of Violence Vol. 2 hits bookstores everywhere on October 10, 2023 and local comic shops on October 11. Be sure to grab A Legacy of Violence Vol. 1 at bookstores and local comic shops.
