FAVORITE QUOTE: âWho benefits from your ignorance?â
Another graphic novel assigned to me in my Literature & Medicine class. This book is a âcontinuationâ of Mary Shelleyâs Frankenstein, and explores concepts of medicine, social injustice, and enviromental terrorism. The art style reminded my A LOT of The Walking Dead comics, and the use of color is really unique and engaging. In 180 pages LaValle and Smith have created a story that encompasses so many important ideas, made palatable by the inclusion of a story weâre already familiar with. I gave this graphic novel an overall rating of 3.5 stars simply because of the abrupt ending. Iâm aware this is the first installment of a series, but I think Lavalle couldâve ended in a âcleanerâ manner.Â
