Every year, six of the most deadly assassins in the business take a week off from their dehumanizing profession to come together as a family. Celebrating Christmas, the killers hunker down in a cabin and play cards, sing carols and exchange gifts.
Last year, one of the killers decided to take a pair of innocent lives. Now exactly 1 year later, one of the innocents has been resurrected by a crow to revenge their murder and the death of a loved one.
This is not a holiday special for those who like their Christmases sweet and happy. Hark the Herald is gritty and violent. There's no punches pulled here! But if you know what your in for; then you are going to love this festive take on The Crow.
Hack/Slash's Tim Seeley crafts a Crow story that actually answers some long standing questions that I've had about the franchise since I was first introduced to it way back in 1996. I'm not sure why the character of Eric isn't used here. But I can completely understand why the crow has chosen a replacement.
Filled with a ton of violence, this is not an easy read. But it was definitely a great entry for those who need their holidays to be a little more R-rated for a change.
Worth Consuming!
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
