Clowns. Cackling killers of kids in tales of horror the world over...but NOT in the Vicious Circus we call Clown Town. Here, the clowns avenge wrongs perpetrated against children by abusers and their ilk, and they ply their hilarious talents for revenge in ways most dark and brutal. Enter, dear reader. See for yourself the havoc in our madcap midway.
3.75 Not sure if this Goodreads page is the correct one - I read 6 issues of Vicious Circus (1-4 is the arc 'Clown Town' and 5-6 is 'To Clown a Predator') I also read prequel #0 'Menagerie'.
This is a horror graphic novel that takes place in a small town, a bunch of clowns are on the prowl murdering anyone who has done anything bad to a child (and then stealing the children to add to their creepy clown collective)
Lots of gore, lots of interesting ways to brutalise. The clowns all have their own personality and speciality - for example one has a top hat that's a monster mouth that chomps people to oblivion, another has a detachable hand that can grab things and a third primarily deals in toxic green gas. There's an interesting twist in the second arc, and I quite enjoyed the prequel. It was a bunch of different stories written and drawn in different ways ( a silent movie, a rhyming Christmas carol and a child's story are some of the themes featured)
