Bog Bodies OGN

Overall, I loved Bog Bodies. Well done by the entire creative team. It was a suspenseful tale about regret and trying too late do something right. It is a raw emotional story with great pacing and art throughout. When I finished reading it the word that came to mind, was "eerie." It sent a chill up my spine. It is one of the best graphic novels I have read in a long time Read Full Review

Bog Bodies is raw, spooky, and damn good. Declan Shalvey is one hell of a talent on both sides of the comic book, and Bog Bodies is absolute proof. Reading Bog Bodies has also introduced me to a couple of great talents in Gavin Fullerton and Rebecca Nalty. This book and its creative team are an absolute treasure! Read Full Review

Overall, Bog Bodies delivers a powerful story of regret and failure in the context of a crime gone wrong and an Irish mob that offers no mercy for mistakes. And it isn’t until you get to the very end of this story that you come to realize the subtle ways in which this creative pushes the boundaries of the genre and offers something a little more different than what one might have originally expected from the start.

Bog Bodies is a cracking horror story that doesnt resort to jump scares. Instead, the ghosts and boogeymen are memories and violence. This came out of nowhere for me like one of those Netflix or Amazon recommendations where you have no idea what youre in for but end up desperate to share with all your odd mates. Prepare yourself for this, and remember, its just a comic Read Full Review

Fullerton's quick, gestural lines infuse an immediacy in this book, capturing the danger that Killian and Neev are facing while on the run for their lives. The art in this book highlights the impending danger of this story. Read Full Review

I like the fact that it's unlike anything else that I've ever read. I like the fact that it's grounded, detailed, and gritty. And during a time when I'm a little overeager to race to the end, I like the fact that Bog Bodies encouraged me to slow down and simmer in the fates of the quartet. Read Full Review

It's the surprising depth of this slim volume that makes it easy to recommend. Readers seeking out crime comics will certainly find plenty to love in this story's sudden violence and relatively realistic approach to terrible acts. Read Full Review

There isn't much else to say here without spoiling it, but if you're a fan of crime thrillers, perhaps even neo-noir, this is a title you'll have a lot of fun with. The plot may be a bit familiar, the characters aren't particularly deep, but that all works in the book's favour and help deliver a tight thrill-ride. Read Full Review

Bog Bodies is a harsh story, and vigorous, and sturdy. It scorns the common trope of redemption through evidence of weakness. There are plenty of twists nothing of sham or hypocrisy in it. It is what it is, without apology." Read Full Review
