Hell Blade

Ongoing | | 2009 released

London, 1888 A.D. The entire city is consumed by fear of a serial killer known only as Jack the Ripper. He mutilates female prostitutes with extreme brutality. However, his victims hide a terrifying secret and Jack’s destiny is to continue hunting them down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The new take of Jack the Ripper was really refreshing. Although Jack the Ripper still has the same psychotic personality like in other stories, his actions had different meaning from how they're normally shown. He wasn't just meaninglessly killing. Also, adding characters from Sherlock Holmes and hinting at characters potentially being from Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde was a pleasant suprise. It's hard to really judge the content of the story or the storyline since it's incomplete and only 13 chapters are out, but overall from what I've read I'll rate it 3.5/5. *The fight scenes were pretty amazing and I almost rated it higher because of them. They way Jack fights is just . The way he kills mercilessly and acts insane was astounding.
