Ahhhh yet another graphic novel that has completely let me down. How is it that the blurbs for graphic novels sound so interesting, and their illustrations are brilliant, but the story just isn’t there? This is the second graphic novel in a row that has disappointed me so much, but oh well…
I do love a good graphic novel. I’ve always loved comic books and graphic novels, so I’m always on the lookout for new stories to immerse myself into. I think one of the things that really draw myself into graphic novels is the artwork; I love poring over the illustrations.
Yes, I’ve been on a bit of a graphic novel binge lately on Netgalley. Every time I saw a graphic novel that looked remotely interesting, I would request it. And Valiant High was just one of the ones that I requested.
I’ve gone a bit click-happy on Netgalley when it comes to graphic novels. I think it’s because I’m searching for the next Saga: something to fill the hole in my chest whilst I wait for vol. 9 to be released. Unfortunately, Infinity 8 is not the next Saga… …
When I read the premise of this graphic novel on Netgalley, it sounded so good… It sounded like the kind of graphic novel that I would instantly go for in a book shop. Alas, whilst reading it, I found it confusing and just straight up boring. …
Hey, look! It’s another graphic novel review! And it’s another graphic novel that I requested from Netgalley! Except this graphic novel is so much different than to what I normally read in graphic novel format, and it definitely has a different artwork style than to what I’m used to. But hey. I like branching out when it comes to graphic novels, so I wanted to give Spectacle a go! …
Yes, I went a bit click-happy when it came to requesting Graphic Novels off of Netgalley. It’s because they’re quick reads, and I was SO behind on my Goodreads challenge, and plus, you can’t really beat a good graphic novel, can you? So this time, I opened up the Adobe Digital app on my phone, and got ready to read my latest download: a space drama that was kind of like when Obama took over from Bush… …
I’ve seen so many good graphic novels get put on Netgalley, but I hardly ever request them. The first ones I ever requested were The Damned Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 by Cullen Bunn. It was a weird experience, having to squint to read the text, and having to zoom in on the images so you could look at the illustrations in all of their glorious detail, but it was still enjoyable. So now, whenever I see a graphic novel that looks interesting, I request it. …
The Damned graphic novel series is actually the first graphic novel series that I have ever requested from Netgalley. I thought that it would be weird reading a graphic novel on my phone/laptop as illustrations are a massive part in the storytelling process. However, it turned out to be not that bad! …
I’m always looking for new graphic novels to read! I love discovering new stories in different formats. After seeing The Damned being advertised on Netgalley, I read the description and it sounded like something that I had never read before, so I decided to give it a go! …
