10-Page Preview! Dutch intends to remake Citizen Kane with “all the blood, sex, and death that Orson Welles originally intended”. In other words, a snuff film. Billy has just signed on to play what may be the last role of his life. The time has come to Raise Kane!

Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

This preview sets up a compelling narrative centered around a gritty, action-packed environment which I found to be fun and enjoyable to read because you don’t need any brain power to read it if you are looking for something you can turn your brain off while reading.

The concept of this preview is pretty engaging but it also hints at deeper layers of intrigue and suspense in the full version of this comic book.

The storylines in this comic book is pretty interesting. But it also feels very basic like it is holding out then details and action for the full version of this comic book. 

The main character in this comic book, is introduced to us with hints of complexity and a strong presence without revealing all of his personality to get us interested and curious to read the full version of this comic book. 

This preview touches on the main character’s motivations, personality and further development which I guess we would see in the full version of this comic book. 

When it comes to the side characters in this book they are somehow good even thou I wasn’t a big fan of them. The side characters add some depth to the narrative and storyline of this preview. But for the most part, they feel pretty weak and their personalities are very limited in this preview which didn’t help me liking them. 

The artwork in this preview does effectively captures the intense and moody atmosphere of this preview which I really liked and which made me give this preview some extra points for doing. 

The illustrations in this preview contribute to the overall tone of the story in this preview, which in return enhances the narrative’s sense of urgency and suspense which this preview tries to give us. 

This preview tries to give us the themes of justice, moral ambiguity, and action which are noticeable. But for the most part they felt pretty shallow like the creators of this preview didn’t develop them fully and only left them at the basic and shallow versions of the themes. 

So will buy and read the full version of this comic book ? Yes I will. It might take some time for me to actually read the full version of this comic book because I have been way too optimistic when creating my TBR list for this year and I don’t know if I get the time to read the full version of this comic book this year. But I will read the full version of this comic book at some point in time.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
