Excellent little graphic novel. Almost entirely an Irish production (the three main contributors are Dubliners) that tells a haunting story of the all too real practice of gangland slayings that are dumped in the wilds of the Wicklow mountains. Don‘t let my blurb put you off, it‘s well rendered beautifully drawn and holds an ethereal otherness that elevates it above typical sweary (of which there is a lot) Guy Ritchie tasty boys 👍🏻🇮🇪👍🏻

The ending was very bittersweet. I wasn't expecting to feel so many emotions. The chase through the woods was ok, but once everyone arrived at the old lady's house, the story was amazing. The story of a young gangster, Killian, looking for redemption before he dies. I enjoyed reading this. The artwork was good. Gerry, one of the gangsters, had a gleefully evil look about him that was frightening.
