Samantha Strong is an upstanding citizen and a small-town serial killer with one cardinal rule: Don’t murder the locals. When someone starts murdering in her small-town though she sets out to figure out who it is and stop them before her own secrets get revealed.
This was a very interesting story with great artwork. Samantha is a serial killer who has been killing for over 20 years but hasn’t been caught because she follows set rules and hides her kills in the woods where no one will find them. This is told from Sam’s POV as she goes about her normal routine of working and taking a monthly trip to the city to kill before a second killer interrupts her quiet life. I actually really enjoyed Sam’s story and how she worked out who the other killer was, and how she dealt with it in the end.
I enjoyed the mystery of finding out who the killer was and their motivations behind the kills. This was just a very unique and fun graphic novel about serial killers. It is reminiscent of the show Dexter but I think it was more enjoyable, especially since they are all anthropomorphic instead of just normal humans.
Overall, if you like reading horror graphic novels and like stuff about serial killers, I suggest reading this graphic. It was a great story that also has great artwork.
