Review: 9th Year (Zuda)

9th Year***

Nine years after a bloody war between humanity and demons, a messianic sect governs the world. In a small European village, the people keep on fighting.

9th Year looks alright. It's a horror/thriller comic which I don't usually get into.

The best part is probably the pencils. The colors don't do enough to stand out but with this style of line art they don't really have to.

I thought a story about humanity (under the rule of a religious faction) being at war with demons was gonna have a heavy-handed overtone but fortunately it's missing from the first eight pages. That doesn't ease my fear (for lack of a better word) about it possibly showing up in the rest of the story.

The actual demons look kinda cool. They're pretty much shown entirely in silhouette the whole time and all you can see are the white eyes but the outline clearly looks demonic (or at least non-human)
