Monumental effort
Soumya Das deserves applause for a monumental effort trying to create a graphic novel all by himself. He wrote the script and did the illustrations, and though the art is not exceptional, the sheer effort is worth the praise. The story is just laying the groundwork and it will be too early to comment without reading the second part.

In this intriguing narrative set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, a mild-mannered physician embarks on a riveting journey when he returns to Whitby, England from colonial India. His initial purpose is to aid a friend's scientific investigation into the complexities of the human mind, specifically focusing on a patient diagnosed with multiple personality disorder. However, this seemingly routine medical case takes a turn into the supernatural.
The story brilliantly interweaves elements of Victorian-era spiritualism with the emerging field of Edwardian-era psychiatry. This thematic clash between the ethereal and the empirical sets the stage for a gripping tale. The physician, a product of rationality and science, is thrust into a world of unexplained phenomena and ghostly apparitions, challenging his deeply rooted beliefs.
As he delves deeper into the patient's case, he encounters eerie manifestations and otherworldly occurrences that defy his understanding of the human psyche. These supernatural elements not only complicate the diagnosis but also raise questions about the boundaries between science and the unexplained. The narrative masterfully explores the blurred lines between sanity and insanity, as the physician grapples with his own grasp on reality and the looming threat of losing his own sanity.
The eerie setting of Whitby, known for its association with Bram Stoker's Dracula, adds an atmospheric layer to the story, enhancing the sense of foreboding. The asylum, a place of both healing and confinement, becomes the epicenter of the mystery, where the supernatural forces seem to converge.
Readers are taken on a suspenseful and intellectual journey, where the physician must reconcile his scientific skepticism with the undeniable presence of spirits. The story's climax and resolution remain shrouded in uncertainty, leaving the fate of the physician and the enigmatic asylum inmate hanging in the balance.
This captivating narrative is a compelling exploration of the human psyche, the thin line between reason and the supernatural, and the clash of two distinct eras in the history of understanding the mind. It challenges our perceptions of reality and invites us to question the unknown, making it a truly riveting tale of mystery and intrigue.

When I came across this title I was intrigued. Very rarely do we see such comic books and so I had to read this. This is the first chapter in the series of books. The story of The Violated takes place in the 19th Century. The story starts with that of a lady who is a psychic and can talk to the dead. But soon there is another story. A physician who has been deployed in India is called by his old friend to England with the task of helping him in his scientific investigation into the human mind. He is supposed to help in the case of one particular patient who is believed to have multiple personality disorder. But when the physician reaches Whitby, England he is going to find a few surprises. How will he deal with these surprises? Why was he called back to England? Will he stay and help in treating the patient? Well, to know the answers to all these questions, you will have to read the book. The story and its characters are captivating and the first chapter’s climax will compel you to look for the next instalment in the series. I am glad that I found this one. Do give this book a read.

Visitants, parts 1-3 of a 6 part story, really drew me in, especially by chapter 2 as the characters became more human (and the issue 1 "horror trope" menace of each characters' introduction got more fleshed out). The book's art is fantastic. The author, Soumya Das, drew the book amazingly himself, with his cover art for each chapter made by a famous comic book artist. The book begins with an atmosphere remiscent of Dracula, but from that starting point, weaves a completely original story about a medium haunted by the spirits she has mediated for. The story comes with character nuance, including very humanized Indian (sub-continent) characters (who put to shame British-style horror's old cliche of "menacing, generic turbanned Indians"--the characters have backstories and real personalities and relationships with each other. By chapter 2 of the Visitants, I was fully engaged in the story and read straight through to the end.
In its entiretly, the book is less than a 3 hour read and made for a great evening of horror reading.

This is the first issue of "The Violated" a graphic novel by Soumya Das. I have read many graphic novels but this is my first time reading and enjoying one by an Indian author.
The story is set in 1900. A physician come to England after staying years in India, to help his friend in a case of multiple personality disorder, only to find that the case involves supernatural elements.
I love the drawings...they are so beautiful and spooky and the pace of the story is good too, only thing I didn't like was how short this issue was, though I am so excited to read the next chapter.
Spookiness level is 6, as it was in the ending it starts getting spooky (though not enough to scare haha)
The cover made me read it and I don't regret at all (sometimes, we can judge a book by it's cover haha).
Even though I hate cliffhanger endings, I enjoyed this one.

"The violated" is a book based on a paranormal story designed like a comic book.It's based on supernatural spirits.
The story begins with a letter in which Elizabeth explains her pain when she gets spirits possessed inside her body and says how hard it has become for her to do such job.The attacks of the ghosts at the end page was horrible!
This is the first chapter of the whole series and all I can say is, this book is really different than others.The sketches are done perfectly and the design of the book is beautiful.Overall,it's a very short read.

A fresh voice in the horror comic genre. The comic does an excellent job of creating an unsettling environment, and expertly draws the reader into the narrative.

Brilliant story with Victorian gothic horror elements, artwork was mediocre as writer himself drew the comic. Still a must read.

This is my first comic book, and I must say it's so engaging. Through the comic I felt the pain of Elizabeth and confusion of Edward. I am loving all the characters from Elizabeth to Louise. It kept me at edge.
