![]() ![]() It reads more like a traditional thriller, except with a teenage protagonist rather than a hardened professional. On one hand, Game is a bit of a letdown after the absolutely compelling first volume in the series. Jazz is somewhat more confident in his role as serial killer hunter, but his subconscious keeps torturing him with disturbing memories, and he is still unable to shake off the fear that he is predisposed to ultimately become like his father. Gameups the ante by pitting father against son in even more overt ways. There are shades of Dexter Morgan’s in Jazz’s own quest, and kudos to Lyga for fearlessly exploring the darkness within his teenage protagonist. Jasper Dent has the daddy of daddy issues, and it makes for a gripping, emotional read, and a hero/potential anti-hero you can really get behind. A teenage son of the world’s most notorious serial killer decides to use his father’s training to hunt serial killers himself, and therefore prove he isn’t like his father. I absolutely loved the concept behind Barry Lyga’s I Hunt Killers. ![]()
