Random Acts of Violence is the blood-soaked story of two comic creators and their ultimate horror character creation gone very bad. A "done-in-one" graphic novella that truly lives up to its title, it's all brought to you by the twisted minds of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray (Jonah Hex, Power Girl, Back to Brooklyn) and illustrated by Giancarlo Caracuzzo (The Last Resort) and Paul Mounts (Power Girl, Wanted).

First of all I'm a fan of Palmiotti and Grey. I really like their work. Especially their Jonah Hex work.

I liked it. It's about two friends making a comic book and then sales blow out with the first issue, and then a typo on a contest for their next issue ruins their lives. 

They create a serial killer, and someone takes their story a bit too seriously.

The artwork is really nice and the coloring too, you mostly see how it's like to break into comics and the industry in general, comic book talks all the time between the main character and in general, while they're touring to signings and comic book stores etc.etc. 

Something I didn't like was how easily the killer, was... well.. killing. It was like, if he wanted he could have killed the whole city without much struggle. But, when the shit hit the fan (for him), he was barely able to do any damage. So it was kinda cringy that up until we get fully introduced to the killer he seemed like a professional psychopath and then like a common thug. 

And another thing that was really missing was that there was no mystery. It was all like it was structured to be a linear story with no twists.

Ok, so other than that. It was a nice little creepy story about things going real, real fast. Also, the comic book dialogues inside are the best. Mocking everything from overreacting feminists, to stupid comic book nerds who don't/won't accept something. From the industry and the addicted fanboys to the fans who will complain and bitch about anything they don't like..  If you don't like a series, stop reading it. Go read something else.  also  Stop constantly bitching about a title/book series/character  Go find a new hobby that makes you happy. Or you know, just.. rate everything you read here with 1 star and bitch about it. 

Getting off topic here, it was GOOD. I liked it. Some horror, some action stuff, a creepy feeling here and there, and lots of comic book talks with 2 guys struggling to get their comic out. Nice stuff!
