For fans of The Crow comics, this feels like a re-branding of that well loved story. A high school outcast is tormented and killed. But her kindness to the dead is repaid with them allowing her another chance at life, but only with allowing The Grievling inhabiting her body with her. She has to learn to control it, and along the way maybe get some revenge. It is short, but feels like it could be the start of a comic series. It won't be everyone's thing, but I love The Crow, and Steve Niles and Damien Worms previous collaboration, so for me it was exactly what I wanted!

I really enjoyed this book. I wish it wasn't a stand alone and there were more books.

I really enjoyed this - I just want more of it. Does anyone know if this is a continuous series?

I actually read the second issue of this, but couldn't find it here. It was one of the worst things I've ever read: art, dialogue, and plot all bad....

Four stars only because it was too short. Like they were scared to write more or they weren’t inspired? Idk the graphics were AMAZING!
