Coyle, Matt & Lamb, Peter – Registry of Death

Registry of Death

If you like gruesome images of violence and death without the fuss of much of a plot, then this one is for you. Maybe that’s a little harsh, or maybe I’m too quick to give the benefit of the doubt, you be the judge. The story opens with a man on the run from The Registry, which is a government group that controls who lives or dies. Gunfights and brutal battles follow, with the main problem being that I’m still not sure exactly why these people have to die. It’s in the story, sure, but what does this group have against them exactly? Are they just keeping the lists consistent and, if so, what’s the reasoning behind those lists? It’s a lot easier to hate hypothetical evil government figures if you have some idea of what they’re doing. Still, the artwork is gorgeous, it’s just too gory for me. Overall it didn’t do much for me, but it might be worth checking out if you enjoy this sort of thing…
