The Lost Carnival: A Dick Grayson Graphic Novel by Michael Moreci, Sas Milledge, Phil Hester

Was a cute little story. Most of Dick I felt was really in character but I really just couldn't see him being someone to want to stray from his family, it felt so hard to believe that would be part of his character. The art is very nice though, however I wasn't the biggest fan of the coloring at first. By the end though it grew on me and it made sense to switch colors depending on where Dick was at the time (the circus or the carnival). Will reread again in the future as it was quite an enjoyable read and I'm a huge Dick Grayson fan.

In this book, we are following Haly's traveling circus and in this circus, we follow the Flying Grayson's who is a family trapeze artist. Within this family, we follow Dock Graysons. However, he is tired of the circus life. When he and his circus comes to a small town there is a carnival called the Lost Carnival where he meets the mysterious Luciana. From there, things unfold. I wasn't blown away or surprised by anything (I saw everything coming.) but it was still an enjoyable read. For me, this was really a character-driven book. I liked the characters. I liked the characters' developments and the relationship grows. I really loved the art style, there was just something about it that drew me in, make the world strong.

This was a lovely--if sad--story about Dick Grayson's time as one of the Flying Graysons.  The art was beautiful, the story was engaging, and even if the characters were somewhat one-dimensional, the magic of the art and story made up for it.  The ending is especially heartbreaking for readers who know the story of the Flying Graysons.
