Apollo by Matt Fitch, Chris Baker
3.0
I'm not a huge graphic novel/Manga fan. But something about this one made me pick it up. I'm not sure how to rate a graphic novel as I never have done that before.
I can definitely say that the art in this one was really beautiful but I found the story itself a little bit confusing. I was expecting that this comic would deal with the very first landing of the man on the moon. But it merely touched on that topic. The graphic novel was more focused on the experience of the family and how it felt to be the wife/father/mother of the first man on the moon. It also showed the past/childhood of the astronauts, which to be completely honest, I did not understand why those moments were shown.
Overall, I think that it was definitely a great story and a great first experience of reading a graphic novel.
