Series Review: Cutter

Cutter # 1 through 4 - Image Comics

Image comics presents readers with an all-new weekly mini-series that will have fans clenching their fist and biting their lips, while looking over their shoulders in fear. The new comic book series Cutter starts and concludes in October. The four-part terrifying issues of Cutter will leave readers properly satisfied, excellent writing and interior artwork, drawn in black and white add to the realistic and dreary tone of the story.

Cutter #1 starts off with Jeremy, our central character, happily married, expecting his first child; and, when two of his high school friends come up dead, becoming a person of interest. Through flashbacks we see that Jeremy is not quite, the innocent victim, while writer Seamus Fahey and Robert Napton, obscure what he did to provoke this protracted, bloody vengeance.

Right up until the last few pages of the last issue, the beats of the plot are clear. This is a well-structured horror story, quickly setting up a cast of characters and their shared, dark pasts. 

In the end, this is a miniseries peculiarly suited to weekly release; it's the kind of intricate, snowballing story where the feeling of gathering momentum is half the fun.You can find Cutter and many other ImageComics Weekly Series at White Dragon Comics.
