**I received an electronic ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for honest review.**

From Ted Naifeh and Warren Wucinich comes Kriss: The Gift of Wrath. Kriss is an outcast in his small village, but is descended from the gods of the north. The Gift of Wrath establishes background for Kriss and some general world-building as well.

I definitely enjoyed this graphic novel. I liked the art style and the choices of the colorist, particularly in making Kriss have a monochromatic color palette as opposed to everyone else and the background which are all full color.

While this graphic novel is enjoyable and is a strong start, I would say that my rating was boosted by the potential this book has in setting up a strong series.

Overall, a fast, fun read that I could easily recommend to any fantasy graphic novel fan.
