Revival #4 Review

So, for those not too familiar with this series, allow me to explain a couple of things first. Lets start with what a "reviver" is. In this book it is a human being that got killed on a certain day, only to come back alive again. This day is known as "revival day". Unfortunately it looks like some of these revivers may be a bit dangerous, as they have caused deaths within the small community of a town in Wisconsin. This town is now under lockdown from the CDC.
There are a large range of characters which have been introduced to us in this series, so I am not going to go through them. But what I will say is this is a book you need to become more familiar with if you have not picked it up yet.

So what makes it so great? The writing for starters. We are only four issues in yet all the characters feel familiar. It is difficult not to get invested in their lives in the book as they attempt to find out more about the revivers as well as the events surrounding them. The art? Just as special. Make no mistakes about it, this is a horror book, and the art really helps to build the suspense up as you read it.

This particular issue gives you more questions than answers, which for some series frustrates readers greatly. However, Tim Seeley is doing a great job at making you want to find out more. I finished this book and became immediately saddened that I had to wait another month until the next issue. Some people would argue that it maybe then this book should be picked up in trade, however I disagree completely. The mystery and intrigue helps make this series what it is.
This issue also gave us a lot of character interaction which was great to see. It may have been low on action this month, but some of the character moments were great.

It is hard to review this book and not give away the story. It just has to be read to have the effect that it was intended to have upon the reader. Therefore this month and this month only I am not going to give any spoilers, be it major or minor. However next month I am going to start giving some small spoilers so pick this up. Also, considering the time of year, this is a really fitting series to start to get in to.
