Serenade

After Jin Moon Kim's rape attempt (issue #9), and still suffering the loss of her husband, Serena begins her dark, destructive journey of vengeance.  Vengeance on all those who have robbed her of happiness.

The Good

This classic story of revenge was very successful in getting you to connect with the main character.  You could feel how fueled by intense emotions she was throughout each scene.  The first person approach was well used for this and really helped bring you into the story.

The Bad

One thing that I would have liked was a bit more fill in the pages as far as the art goes, namely background.  The color splashed throughout almost felt out of place at times with it being sparse.

The Summary

Although I entered this well into the series, it actually held its own with not having any previous knowledge of the story.  I wouldn’t mind seeing what came prior though so I could make a better assessment.  Even so, for it being a later issue, it was still a good read.
