A review by jilljemmett
The Circle by Damon Clark
2.0
Christian and his father move to a new town to be closer to his grandparents after his mother dies. He gets into some fights with other kids on the first day at his new high school. Another group of kids notice him and invite him to go to their hangout in the forest. They say they need one more person to join their group to complete the ritual. They proceed to perform rituals, which involves killing people from their school.
This is a strange story. It was very unpredictable.
The art was confusing at times because of the dark colours. The style reminded me of Tim Burton. However, many of the characters looked alike so I couldn't differentiate between them.
There was a lot of unnecessary profanity in the story. The feelings of the characters could have been displayed in a more emotional way if there wasn't as much swearing.
Some parts of the story were inconsistent too. On one page, Christian's father tells him he doesn't have school because it's Sunday, but in the next frame he is heading out the door for school. I couldn't tell if he was dreaming, if his father was wrong, or it was a mistake in the comic.
I think this story could have been much more successful with some more editing.
