October Faction Volume 1 by Steve Niles

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Frederick Allen is a retired monster hunter who now devotes his time to teaching, his two grown children want to follow in their fathers footsteps which he is against until secrets from his past come back to haunt him. His wife is also involved in something that will ensure his past catches up to him. His ex partner has also come back into his life with news that upsets him however not all is as it seems.
Loved the art in this graphic novel; dark and gritty with a vibrant use of colour, it ticked all the right boxes for me. Each panel was consistent in style and seemed to ooze dread and atmosphere.
Story wise it was a little muddled at times but I got the gist of it for the most part. This volume really just sets up the future family business of monster hunting and I really hope it continues as it would be a great start to a series.
Gorgeous artwork and hopefully a start to a promising graphic novel horror series.
