This book was way to gory for me. So much so I had a hard time following the story. It was not for me.

"Read a comic book before bed!" I said.
"It will be fun!" I said.
One should never read anything written by Garth Ennis before bed. Because... of reasons. After reading The Boys I should have known better.

A Walk Through Hell: The Complete Series is all kinds of weird, crazy, violent and bloody. I didn't fully understand the plotline but that's on me. I'll eventually re-read it because both the writing and the illustrations are great.

This is like a dark Law and Order. Special Agents Shaw and McGregor go into a warehouse from hell. They are looking for two other agents that went in and there was no communication from them. They run into a guy that is crazy but he manipulate their worlds.
I really enjoyed this and would read more from the guys that did the work.

Thank you to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributers for an advance reader’s copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have to admit I was really confused with this book and wasn’t really sure what was going on most of the time . The graphics are pretty cool but the book wasn’t really for me

What the heck did I just read?
I can picture this being very popular with some people. It will definitely get a passionate cult following. It gave me X Files and Twin Peaks vibes with just a dash of Donnie Darko. Or maybe The Leftovers?
I thought the topics it was delving into were interesting. A lot of political themes as well as religion. But it was never exactly clear or easy to follow. I think a lot of it went over my head because much of the time it was all very abstract.
I enjoyed the characters and their interactions. I also enjoyed the horror elements. The graphics were great.
If you like Chuck Palahniuk, this is for you. It was not for me.

'A Walk Through Hell: The Complete Series' by Garth Ennis with art by Goran Sudzuka is a massive grim graphic novel.

FBI agents Shaw and McGregor are investigating the disappearance of two colleagues into a warehouse. Everyone that has gone in after them has either never come out, or come out scared, or killed themselves. What Shaw and McGregor confront inside confounds their senses. It also forces them to relive the ghosts of past cases and life events. What is unleashed inside is soon to be unleashed on the world.

I reviewed the first half of this series and didn't care much for it, but I was hopeful that the rest would make sense, and I'm happy to report that it does. It's a really grim story that seems to continuously spiral downward, but I found the whole arc to be more satisfying. Goran Sudzuka's art was a standout in my first review, and continues to be for this series. It's a really nice art style.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from AfterShock Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Something evil lurks inside a Long Beach warehouse in A Walk Through Hell.

Two FBI agents, Goss and Hunzikker, walk into a warehouse never to return. An eight-person SWAT team is sent in to find the missing agents. Thirty seconds later, they come out talking of dread and someone coming to get them. A few hours later, they are all dead.

Agents Shaw and McGregor go in next. What they see and feel is extraordinary! It seems the very fabric of life and death is distorted in the warehouse. How can they get themselves and their fellow agents out? More importantly, what is causing the strange physics, and can they stop it from overtaking the world?

I expect a lot from the author of Preacher, one of my favorite comics ever. And A Walk Through Hell delivers! This is an excellent horror tale. The less you know going in the better for the reveals that await you. Don’t worry about all the unlabeled flashbacks and flashforwards. You will understand what is happening by the end of the series. The artwork, especially the somber coloring, adds a lot to the dread. 5 stars and another favorite.

Thanks to Aftershock Comics and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

I have to admit, this book ended up being a surprise. At first, I didn't understand the flow of the story. I felt like I was getting a case of whiplash. I was just about to give up until I realized that the back and forth flow were "flashbacks." After that realization, the book really took off and became an interesting and gripping novel.

The artist's rendering are superb and fits perfectly with the narrative. Some of the graphics are horrific, but that's what made to story come alive.

Overall, an excellent graphic novel. Four stars and I think I'll need to read more of the author's novels.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the 3 issues that I read but, the link now says expired, So I can not finish my review, thanks for the opportunity I thought had more time since it releases next week. to give a review before it is published. my policy is not to review on my website any unfinished books. I did enjoy it and will pick it up sometime and review it when I get a chance to. Again thanks for the opportunity.

This graphic novel opens with a killing spree in a shopping centre. Detectives Shaw and McGregor are shocked to learn that the perpetrator was one of their witnesses in a major paedophile investigation. Later, two of their colleagues, while on a drugs stakeout, enter a warehouse and do not come out. A SWAT team goes in and immediately comes out, refusing to ever go in there again.

Shaw and McGregor are disgusted with this and march into the warehouse themselves. This starts off a horrific journey for them where they relive the paedophilia investigation and are forced to confront their inner demons, dragging their colleagues into the mire with them.

More horror than noir crime, this is a great story from the writer of the Preacher series. The artwork is suitably gothic and gloomy, and convincingly scary at times. Very good.

FBI agents walk into a warehouse of horror. Twelve issue series that is brutal from the beginning. First I want to warn of trigger warnings. As with most Garth Ennis stories you need to be in the right headspace to read this. I had a hard time with some parts of the story and had to walk away and finish in more than one sitting. It is definitely a horror story with the imagery and storyline to match. The art and colors are beautiful, letters never get in the way of enjoying the story. If you are a fan of horror and Ennis it is a definite must-read.

Two FBI agents, still haunted by the memories of their last investigation, are trying to get back to the routine cases. Things get awry when they come as second respondents to a warehouse stakeout following the reports of the disappearance of the two colleagues they were working with. What they find there might be the most horrific thing that they could ever come across. Stuck between life and death, forced to revisit their ugliest memories and live through their worst nightmares, while trying to make sense of it all, might be the only way out.

Okay, this is perhaps the most superb graphic novel I have come across till now, the graphics are without a doubt top notch, and just perfect, never a dull panel there, like seriously! I can go on and on about how amazing the graphics really were, the panel layout, color scheme, and the facial expressions are just so good. Especially, the covers of individual issue are so gorgeous, I legit stared at them for some time. That said, as the title and cover indicates, it’s full of gore and intestines, with floating limbs and eye balls in blood pools, and walks through some dark topics like child abuse, and others such, but never descriptive enough to be disturbing. But definitely not recommended for the squeamish and faint of heart.

The plot is great, with FBI procedurals, sick minds, manipulators, politics, and an undertone of religion and paranormal. That said, the story is told between multiple time-lines and that definitely made it confusing at times. Also, this requires full presence of mind (which I certainly am not blessed with) and a little getting used to before you start making a sense of what’s happening, but still very gripping from the get go. I think I understood what happened at the end, since it was an open ending, but I’m not very sure, it went so many ways near the end that I kinda sorta lost track of what was happening. But yeah, the graphics were cool and the confusions did not manage to take away the enjoyment of it all.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC.

A Walk Through Hell is a true Garth Ennis work, dark, weirdly enthralling, and gory. Special Agents Shaw and McGregor walk into a warehouse and find hell on earth. Each agents seems to be stuck in their own personal hell as past deeds show up to haunt them in a head flipping back and forth tale of the past and present. True evil carries a familiar face and the shape of the world is and its depravity is on display. Delving unnecessarily into politics doesn't really bother me so much as being confused through the first half about what the heck was going on. Like a weird train wreck you cannot look away from, this story draws you in and keeps you reading until the big aha at the end. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

I remember reading the first volume of this and not really being able to follow the story. Now that it's complete and collected here in one volume, it is a much clearer and much better story. Things that were fragmented before now make sense. The jumping back and forth in time is much easier to follow. The story itself is an interesting blend of horror, religion, philosophy, and a look at our modern day society. I'm still not 100% sure this all comes together by the end (didn't Shaw escape?), but I'm glad to have had the chance to see the entire vision that Ennis had for this one. And the artwork by Goran Sudzuka is great from start to finish.

I am grateful to Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley for giving me an electronic copy to review in advance of publication.

_A Walk Through Hell_ may be the most aptly-titled book I've read this year. It is beyond Dark, and yes, the capital D is intentional. Macabre, twisted, sick, and bleak are the most accurate descriptors I can apply. That's not to say that the book is bad; I enjoyed it and believe that it paints a dead-on picture of the world we inhabit today. The blackest depths of human nature are on display in this depraved, despondent, despairing chronicle of abuse. If you're looking for hope, there's none to be found; Ennis gives no quarter. If you like literature and art that fits comfortably into those categories, then this graphic novel is for you. Goran Sudzuka's drawings are accurate, realistic renderings, and the muted color palette suits the story perfectly. "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here" indeed.

Warning: A Walk Through Hell is NOT for children, and if you consider yourself a committed Christian, I reckon you'll find this book extremely offensive.

When FBI special agents Shaw and McGregor go to their assignment in Long Beach, it’s to find out what happen to the agents in a warehouse. They find that the local police have already been investigating. They sent in a squat team that does come out. They return to their vehicle and end up dying — all of them. Why? The agents are still missing so Shaw and McGregor go into the warehouse. It appears to be night inside even though it was daylight before entering. (Shaw is almost 40 and still feels upset about her last case memories. McGregor is younger and still somewhat idealistic. As his is newer to his work than Shaw is.). What they see isn’t believable to their eyes. When they discover that they both don’t have a pulse, they can’t believe it. Are they dead? There are more discoveries. What are they? Their most recent case may or may not hold answers to what they have seen. Shaw tells a story that McGregor listens to even though he doesn’t want to. There is a discussion of a criminal named Carnahan and his terrible crimes. McGregor knows what has them trapped so hopefully they can return. Assistant director Driscoll tries to find out what has happened to her missing agents. Will she be able to find them? Driscoll will find herself in the nightmare that her agents are in. Driscoll finds that this nightmare has not broken loose on to the world. There is only one question that needs to be answered. What is the question? What is the answer? Will they get out of the warehouse?

This graphic novel is horror. The storyline is unique. The artwork is perfect and wonderful. It starts out being a mystery even though horror upon horror appears throughout the story in unexpected ways. It’s not a violent novel but scared as in some ways it seemed too real. I was completely lost in the storyline as I kept reading to see what and why things happened to the agents. The ending was unexpected.

What?
I picked this up from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. I was super excited to see such a fun looking graphic novel by one of my favorite graphic novel authors (Garth Ennis).
His books are pretty heavy with themes of religion, sarcasm, politics, and social examinations.
A Walk Through Hell contains all of that while to FBI agents are investigating a child abduction ring.
The timeline is all over the place and I'm confused about what I read, but I think that's the point? The past impacts the present and future, etc.?
I think a written timeline with each section would actually help. (Year or something).
The illustrations and images in this are top notch. They are unsettling, horrific, and disturbing; but interesting and compelling.
I have no idea what I read besides an examination of God and evil. But why so convoluted?
I'm very grumpy that I missed what this was all about. To top it off, there was no author summary that I often rely on for complicated works like this.
*Shrug*. I say skip this one, unless you have the time and where with all to heavily examine.

What I Liked

That I had NO idea what I was walking into when I started reading, A Walk Through Hell! Lol
So, it took me completely by surprise with the gore and the squicky horror headed my way. Also, I dropped the ball when I failed to recognize Garth Ennis as the talent behind Preacher comics — I devoured those! In short, I’d recommend this book to anyone who loved Preacher and readers who love unattached limbs torturing characters to death!

That all the volumes were combined into one collection and I didn’t have to go hunting for the others or wait for them to come out.

What I Didn’t Like

The political commentary that was parceled in with the comics. I didn’t ask for it and so, I didn’t appreciate it.

What You Should Know

There is a scene depicting homophobic assault.

In the end, I liked this one a lot!

This was an engrossing quick read. I'll warn others there is some dark subject matter (child abuse and murder), but the crimes aren't descriptively detailed. I've never read anything quite like this. The overarching story involving the supernatural element was fresh, even if the cop drama element wasn't. I'm not sure if this is a start to a series, because I didn't feel there was enough development of the supernatural elements. Also, while the artwork was good I didn't feel wowed by it.
3.6/10.

I received a review copy of this through netgalley in exchange for an honest review. When I first saw the cover of this graphic novel it drew me in and I wanted to see where the story would take me. The overall concept of the story was interesting however I found it a little hard to read and follow along. The graphics were amazing and over all the characters and the story developed enough to keep me engrossed for the last few hours, however I just found myself not really liking it over all.
