View Urgent ForecastThe story starts with a man and a woman concluding their date. The woman attempts to invite him to her residence, but he declines, which leaves her pondering on the length of their relationship and why they hadn’t shared a kiss yet, as she prepares for bed after undressing. Simultaneously, in the car parked outside, the man gazes at a photograph of himself and a child. In the subsequent scene, it is discovered that someone in the back seat of his car stabs him repeatedly. The attacker departs, leaving behind pay phones that start ringing as he passes by.
In the next part of the narrative, we find Seth, our crime novelist struggling with a different genre, engaged in a conversation with his feline companion as his phone rings. He reluctantly answers to hear from his agent. Readers learn more about Seth, who’s attempting to branch out but keeps finding himself entangled in crime stories. Deceiving his agent about writer’s block, he deletes the recent scene he penned before answering the call. The narrative unfolds with a family outing to a magic show featuring Seth, his sister, and son. During their train ride home, the adults discuss his creative woes while the boy performs a trick. At home later, Seth resumes writing, crafting a tale about two men meeting at a bar, one a customer and the other a bartender closing up shop. Their tentative plans to leave together lead to another murder, this time by the same culprit as in the initial scene. Exhausted from his work, Seth dozes off, and his cat rouses him. The story concludes at the bar he wrote into life, where two officers discuss the gruesome murder of the bartender.
In “You’ll Do Bad Things #1,” the reader is kept on the edge of their seat, anticipating what happens next. The author masterfully hooks the reader with each scene shift, keeping us intrigued. The first murder comes as a shock because the story doesn’t provide any initial hints or expectations. It’s unclear if the female character plays a significant role or not. One of the appeals of an indie book like this is trying to decipher the plot, and this book keeps you guessing effectively until the end.
The protagonist, Seth, who yearns for fresh creative endeavors, is a common trope in literature, but the author skillfully develops him throughout the issue. Initially, “You’ll Do Bad Things” appears to be a true crime book, but the ending flips that assumption upside down. As readers, we witness Seth writing the murder at the end, which leads to questions that we long to have answered. Are the events Seth is writing about real? Did erasing the initial story prevent it from happening? What’s truly going on? This makes for an intriguing start to a new book.
Adriano Tutulici’s artwork suits this book perfectly. His illustrations give off a mystery-thriller vibe, not quite realistic but not overly fantastical, making it intriguing for readers as they try to decipher the plot. The color palette is striking, with an abundance of neon hues illuminating scenes. There’s a vintage feel to his art, reminiscent of classic Marvel comics from the 1970s, which adds an appealing touch.
Title Review: “You’ll Do Bad Things” #1 – A Captivating Mystery That Keeps You Guessing
As a movie reviewer, let me share my thoughts on this engrossing book. From its opening pages, it’s clear that the author, Boss, has mastered the art of hooking readers. The enigmatic mystery at the heart of the story is so intricately woven that one reading isn’t enough to unravel it all.
The narrative keeps you on your toes, leaving you eagerly anticipating what happens next. I found myself utterly engrossed and I’m confident that any reader who picks up this book will feel the same way.
Turtulici’s artwork complements the story beautifully. With its vintage style, it skillfully avoids giving away too much about the story’s nature, keeping readers intrigued.
While the plot does touch on some familiar tropes – writer’s block, demanding agents, and struggling artists – the captivating mystery at its core more than compensates for these occasional cliches. It’s a tale that will undoubtedly draw readers in, leaving them eagerly awaiting the next installment.
