Bloodborne: The Healing Thirst volume 7


41581730

Today’s post is on Bloodborne: The Healing Thirst volume 7 by by Ales Kot and illustrated by Piotr Kowalski, Brad Simpson. The cover has a hunter being a beast on it. The intended reader is someone who has read the first four issues, likes dark gothic horror. There is mild foul language, no sex, and violence in this comic. The story is told from the third person close of the two main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From Hoopla- The city of Yharnam: an ancient, gothic metropolis and home to the Healing Church.
Founded by Laurence, the first vicar, the church has become renowned for its miraculous blood-based curatives, attracting the sick and afflicted to Yharnam from far and wide.
However, recent days have seen the city fall foul to a nightmarish plague known as the Ashen Blood disease, the source of which remains a mystery.
Hunters now stalk the streets in search of beasts as the moon hangs ominously low in Yharnam's sky, while two unlikely citizens search for answers…
Review- Everything is starting to unravel in Yharnam now. The hunters are becoming what they hunt, the citizens are frightened and getting eaten by beasts, and the Healing Church knows what is happening but for some unknown reason is doing nothing to stop it. The doctor and the monk are both looking for answers from two different places but they come to the same conclusions. The Healing Church is the source of the beast plague but not the pale blood. The volume ends with a cliff-hanger about what they are going to do next. This story arc has been very interesting with the dual perspectives hunting for answers to the plagues, discovering more then they wanted and getting the reader insight into the world of Old Yharnam and what happened before the start of the game. I am very curious about where the story is going to end.

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this comic from my local library Hoopla account.
