Cleverly laid out as the notebook of the film’s infamous serial killer, John Doe, the book gives a first-person account of the killings, rendering Doe as a vigilante figure a la the Punisher. The stories delve into the back-stories of the victims (their sins) as well as exploring Doe’s origins.
The collection features the work of numerous writers and artists whose varying styles make for a mixed bag. But on the whole, the film’s legion of fans should be thoroughly entertained.
