Broken Frontier Review Extract:

“Deep breaths first… The List is not a comic for the squeamish or the easily disturbed. When I described it as “uncompromising” in my introductory paragraph I wasn’t being hyperbolic or dramatic. In fact, if anything, I was probably underplaying just what an uneasy and troubling read The List can often be…This is take-no-prisoners psychological horror at its grimmest and is all the more effective for that defiant, defining stance…Bedford adopts an economical storytelling style that is entirely suited to his subject matter and reflects the single-minded objectives of The List’s protagonist…There’s something almost hypnotic about the way we follow this unhinged persona from page to bloody page…I have found myself saying this a lot recently but The List is definitely a comic that rewards re-reading. There are layers to the mystery here…There’s a dark emotional resonance to the The List, escalating with each volume, that is almost threatening in its delivery…On the art front Henry Pop on pencils and Tom Bonin on inks do an outstanding job of visualizing the Son’s descent into apparent religious obsession…Pop’s visceral and brooding layouts are a fitting complement to Bedford’s taut and unsparingly paced script…Few comics are as likely to make your eyes bleed just from reading them as The List but, such is its power to ensnare and transfix the reader, you’ll barely even notice the ocular haemorrhaging until the book has you well and truly trapped in its devious grasp.”
