read for the 2015 reading challenge: a graphic novel
The thing that fascinates me about graphic novels are pages that are entirely without text, yet clearly tell a tale. Anya's Ghost is no exception. The art was interesting, the plot was good with an unexpected twist, but didn't really move me. It didn't really fall into my interests either.
I have to be honest, I've seen so many fascinating, rich and weird webcomics lately that align more with my passions that the story of this one seems a bit dull in comparison.
So, it was a fun, quick read, but it didn't knock my feet off the ground.
