Grim, Vol. 1: Don't Fear The Reaper by Stephanie Phillips
4.0
A perfectly dynamic story in a beautifully dark color scheme
Jessica is one of Death's assistants who carries souls to the afterlife, but she's the only one who doesn't remember her death. She's determined to find out the truth, no matter what, and why it is hidden from her - and that's where this story starts.
I love how action-packed this story is within a neon-bright palette that stands out against the black. I enjoy it when a good graphic novel idea is creatively brought to life in diverse panel layouts, leading the pace through well-drawn series or action scenes that stir up all your emotions.
There were a few minor issues I noticed: some of the characters were a bit underdeveloped and it leaned onto some pretty well-known tropes, but the good visuals sufficiently made up for these things, I'd say.
This is a 4/5 star read for me, I loved it albeit the abovementioned negatives. I will be looking forward to the continuation of this story.
