Out of all the graphic novels and comics I have read, Zojaqan was the most plot and detail driven story. The cover and the synopsis were what captured by attention and what made me decide to give the comic a try. At first, I thought it was interesting. As I made progress through the pages, there was one thought I couldn’t get rid of. It was more of a question of the form of “how?”
The main character, Shannon Kind, somehow vanishes from our world to this other world where time always randomly pushes her into the future. As I continued the story, I never got the bit of information of what happened and how she vanished. I can understand that vanishing into thin air can be explanation, but I think I just need more facts or something to have a better understanding.
As for the story, it felt like a creation story or something similar to like that. I rather liked the topic of the story and the progression, but the story itself was confusing to me. Although time kept skipping, the story did as well. I just couldn’t keep track of what was going on and things just did not make sense at all.
I can’t say much for the illustrations. They were good enough to look at, but I’m not sure if it was the best style for the comic as well. It definitely provided a good visual, but I am not sure how the story and the style went together. I am just assuming that this thought is probably just a personal opinion. At the end, I guess I just have to say that this was just did not work out for me.
