Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child – “Requiem” (Vertigo)

DLVoodooChild-TPBWriter: Selwyn Seyfu Hinds | Artist: Denys Cowan | Inks: Jon Floyd & Don Hudson | Colours: Dave McCaig

Ruling over the most haunted city in America are the powerful Voodoo Queens – but the Queen has been murdered, and Tulane grad student Dominique Laveau is the No. 1 suspect – and marked for death.

One of Vertigo’s new titles from past September, Dominique Laveau is a tale of voodoo, family and blood-ties and -feuds in New Orleans. This is one of the most atmospheric comics I’ve read, and I was hooked by the first issue. I decided to wait, for financial reasons, for the collection. Sadly, I was ultimately disappointed by the book – what had started out as a gripping, gothic supernatural tale, ended up a bit of a muddle.
