Klaw Vol. 1

by Antoine Ozenam

[Sarah Says]

When we first meet Angel Tomassini he is getting beaten up my bullies, he is set up to seem like an underdog but he came off more like a spoiled rich kid to me, but Angel redeemed himself.

The reader follows Angel as he finds out about the power that resides within him, learns who his allies and who his enemies are, finds out the truth about his father and goes on to become the vigilante/superhero known as 'The Klaw'.

This graphic novel chucks at lot at the reader at rapid pace; Bullying, Friendship, First Loves, Shapes-Shifting, Mythology, Astrology, Super Heroes, Mafia Men, Super Villains and Paranormal Government Agents.

I'm giving it THREE "I enjoyed it" STARS. The premise of the story was interesting, but I didn't really connect with any of the characters. As a whole the story felt a bit rushed and I would have liked more time spent on character development.

I really enjoyed the scenes showing Angel's relationship with both his mentors, watching them train, the banter between them etc. Actually Angel and Dan hiding out in the warehouse training was my favorite part of the story, shame it didn't last longer.

I'm glad I read it, but It didn't blow me away.

Firstly, I received an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, thank you!
