Despite a somewhat unconventional premise, it's plot is fairly conventional--think Silence of the Lambs meets Dexter in a land of serial killers. The art is interesting, naturalistic in the character developing moments but almost cartoonish in moments of actual violence. The disgraced agent on a mysterious call is well-worn trope, but NSA Agent Finch is actually likable. The secrets of Buckaroo, Oregon at a lot to the book, but this could go in a lot of different directions. It could be really interesting in a way one things of a show like the first season of True Detective, or it could be a Criminal Minds episode with a strong premise. Only later volumes will decide. Williamson and Henderson have me interested.

5.0 out of 5 stars A horror comic with real horror-movie feel....
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2015
Verified Purchase
This is possibly the first time a horror movie has been successfully translated to comic book form. Not that NAILBITER ever was a horror movie, but it certainly reads like one. There's definite "DON'T OPEN THE DOOR!" tension lurking on most of its pages, along with a quirky assortment of characters that make you wonder what secrets each one is hiding. There are a couple of places where you will think, "Seriously?" and wonder if the writer & artist have stepped over the line of willing suspension of disbelief, but the visceral effect of those scenes makes one forgive the unreality. I'm avidly waiting for the moment Volume 2 sinks below my price threshold so I can snap it up.

What would happen in a town full of serial killers? Nailbiter takes a look at a town where a large percentage of the population has become or has the potential to become serial killers. The most famous one was known for chewing the fingernails of his victims.

After receiving a mysterious phone call from an old friend, FBI agent Nicholas Finch heads to Buckaroo, OR to find out what is going on. Upon arriving, he learns that his friend has gone missing and some strange incidents are occurring in town. Finch's search for his friend leads him deeper into the town history and an investigation into the proliferation of killers.

This plays out like a cop drama in many ways. The main characters we see are associated with law enforcement or serial killers in some way. The town itself becomes a major character in the story. There are some twists along the way, which help move things along. One aspect that I particularly enjoyed is the unveiling of some of the killers from the town's past. Each one presents a unique MO and notoriety in the town. One of the residents even set up a shop dedicated to memorabilia from the killers.

The art helps pull the story off quite a bit. I feel like it grounds things within a story that has the potential to be very over the top. The restraint with the art makes some of the twists much more effective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cooler Auftakt!
Reviewed in Germany on November 10, 2017

In dem Graphic Novel geht es um die Stadt Buckaroo in der überdurchschnittlich viele Serienkiller ihren Ursprung haben. Als ein dort ermittlender FBI-Agent verschwindet, versucht sein Freund und NSA-Agent Nicholas herauszufinden was mit ihm passiert ist. Hierbei ist er auf die Hilfe des freigesprochenen Serienkillers Edward angewiesen, der Nailbiter genannt wird, da er seinen Opfern die Fingerkuppen abgebissen hat.

Volume 1 ist der Auftakt der Serie um den Serienkiller Edward und ich fand es wirklich gut! Die Storyline ist interessant und macht Lust auf mehr!
Für mich leider etwas zu kurz für den Preis, deshalb ein Stern Abzug. Man hat einfach gemerkt, dass es erstmal nur der Auftakt und eine Vorstellung der Charaktere war. Die Optik dieses Graphic Novels ist ziemlich cool und auch individuell. Die Charaktere und insbesondere auch ihre BEziehungen zueinander sind interessant dargestellt und machen Lust auf mehr.

Ich werde mir den zweiten Band auch besorgen und bin gespannt darauf wie es weitergeht!
