A review by massie38
Dark Satanic Mills by Marcus Sedgwick
3.0
A badass retelling of the Wizard of Oz with great art from cover to cover. The story drags you in and makes you think about its largest theme of religion, specifically how religion impacts our individual lives, thoughts, and feelings. Since the story takes place in the not too distant future it reads like a warning of what is to come if we let large organisations, like True Church, use faith to control politics and the dangers of blind faith with the saying:
Belief + Doubt = Sanity
Encompassing a lot of what the graphic novel is about.
However, it loses 2 stars because characters aren't particularly fleshed out, I would have liked to see more of the main 4 characters. Also, the inevitable romance that came from the novel was kind of annoying and unnecessary.
All in all, a pretty good graphic novel.
