We had the distinct pleasure of getting an advanced copy of Savage Town from Image Comics. I was very excited because I am a big fan of Declan Shalvey’s and his work couldn’t wait to read Savage Town.

Savage Town is a rare graphic novel that mixes crime drama with comedy several times reading Savage Town I cracked up and several times reading made me go WTF its a mark of a great comic. The characters of Savage Town are developed and would love to see several graphic novels involving Jimmy Savage and Limerick City Ireland. Declan Shalvey again hits it out of the park with the writing of the graphic novel.  Every aspect of the graphic novel is well thought out. This is how crime fiction should be written. The art of Philip Barrett and Jordie Bellaire bring to life Jimmy Savage and the town. Everything looks amazing, and the art makes the violence and brutality look breathtaking. Savage Town is a great crime fiction story with comedic elements a thoroughly enjoyable read. makes me want more Jimmy Savage stories as well as a Guinness and a visit to Ireland.
