Nov 28, 2008 - tinalbp on Michael Easton
Amazing Graphic Novel

Here is my review Michael has on his official site & "Soul Stealer" MySpace:

"Soul Stealer" is the most unique novel I've ever read. This creative fantasy, from the brilliant mind of Michael Easton, enhanced richly and beautifully by Christopher Shy's incredible artwork, is a love story as passionate and enthralling as it gets. Michael Easton created a wide variety of unique characters in his story, to me, reminiscent of those in Greek mythology, the old testament, classic and modern romance, thriller, and super hero stories, but newly and completely his own. "Soul Stealer-Book One", and this reader, beg for a "Book Two" and a movie; however, the novel flows just like a movie with the magnificent, colorful graphics illustrating every scene from the writer's story. I can easily see "Soul Stealer" becoming a blockbuster film. -- Tina
