And then they fell in love. Join FRANK J. BARBIERE (FIVE GHOSTS, The Revisionist) and VICTOR SANTOS (THE MICE TEMPLAR, Polar) for a pulp-infused criminal romance oozing with style and action! **Love In Panels' Review**: This will be a short review because I feel pretty confident this comic isn't what you came here for. This reads like a teenage boy's fantasy of revenge and violence with a side of naked people. One of the taglines is "an extreme tale of revenge and love." I gotta say, I didn't see any love. There's some sex, some shooting of someone the "heroine" has just had sex with... I just... nope. So, it's on sale 5/30/17. I haven't been posting much in the way of negative reviews, but I felt like I got suckered into this one with the "romance" tag, so here's me telling you not to do the same. # [Violent Love](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/violent-love) [fa icon="calendar"] May 30, 2017 1:03:00 PM / by [Suzanne](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/author/suzanne) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Suzanne read VIOLENT LOVE, by Frank J. Barbiere and Victor Santos. It's not a romance! It's a blood-soaked murder fest  with weird time jumps and confusing art. If you want a romance comic, don't get sucked in by the cover copy on this one.
