WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT WRITING / STORYTELLING:
Remember to let
the images tell the story too. This book
would have 1-3 page scenes without any dialogue or captions, and it worked very
well. This is something to definitely
keep in mind when writing.
WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT ART / STORYTELLING:
Incorporating
the captions into the artwork is inventive, and I found it enjoyable. It stands out and shows that the creators are
thinking about the comic page and utilizing its unique storytelling
aspects. I like that.
RECOMMENDATION: B
NOTES / REVIEW / SYNOPSIS
This follow-up
to pistolwhip had a more conventional, linear narrative, and the mystery
put forth in the first chapter was telegraphed early on, but, to the credit of
the creators, they didn’t try to tease the mystery out very far, as it
was. I’m a fan of Kindt’s work, and this
book was more than enjoyable, if not as captivating as the initial volume. Thus, the B.
