I like the idea of following the story from a villains perspective. Getting an insight into their thinking is twisted but fascinating. I definitely agree that the overegsagerated expressions in the artwork can lead to a certain detachment in the experience.
It is fun to see what’s their story behind these epic events that set the foundation of the story but man, the artwork at times, especially the facial designs/expressions can definitely kill a lot of the attraction!
Great, in-depth review. There’s always the odd graphic novel where the art work just seems to be somewhat off-putting/hard to enjoy. For me it was Arkham Asylum /
A shame this one didn’t grab a higher rating. Look forward to more of your graphic novel reviews in the future.
Thank you, sir. I appreciate the time you take to check out my posts! Hahah funny that you mention Arkham Asylum since it’s one of my beloved graphic novels. 😀
It is one that is beloved by many. I just really struggled with it.
Always a pleasure to view your posts. They always make me want to read graphic novels. I’m going to get my old ones from my parents’ house, I think, and see how some of them hold up to a re-read.
Yep, it really does have its ups and downs. It’s still fun to see how Lemire grows this universe, even if the story or the art isn’t always that good. 😂
Exactly, I can assure you that there are other similar issues throughout the volume too. A bit unfortunate since non-humane elements are relatively well done.

Oh well, this series seems like a hit-and-miss with you. A pity, as the idea seems pretty cool! But the art is rather underwhelming, from what I see.

I can see what you mean by “too expressive.” I think it’s mainly the eyes. They look all sorts of “weird.”
