Overall, it's about the same quality as the original, however I find this one more interesting since it continues on and doesn't come to a screeching halt after he's done avenging his love. If you're looking for a good take on The Crow, I'm sure you could do worse. The ending wasn't the best but there is a follow up book which will hopefully open new story lines and keep things moving.

It's like they took every sentence out of the book of tough cop talk clichés. The thing I didn't care for was some of the dialog, primarily the cops. It consistently reminded me of a well lit film noir.

The biggest improvement on this version is the artwork, which is always interesting to look at and the colors are very muted and subdued which sets up a good tone for this type of story. Eric is about settling old scores while Walker kills murderers, which in a sense makes him like The Punisher and a hypocrite. His background is never really given, but he's similar to The Crow in that he communicates with a wolf that follows him on his quests the way Eric talks to a crow. The good thing is after he is done enacting revenge the story continues unlike the original.Īnother character is introduced only known as Walker (he's an Indian, not a Texas ranger). Some people might prefer that approach too. It doesn't have the weight the initial story did. There's no problem there, the new origin is interesting, however the act of taking revenge on the men who killed Eric and his fiancée happens so fact and furious, it almost loses its impact. The concept is pretty much the same, and a lot of the same characters remain, but Eric's back story has been completely altered in how the events went down.
