They're Not Like Us, Vol. 1: Black Holes for the Young by Simon Gane, Eric Stephenson, Jordie Bellaire
4.0
I read some reviews before reading this book and some were not as favourable to this graphic novel as I originally thought people would be, but it left me undeterred as I loved the look of the art and colours. - I actually really enjoyed this book, it is about an morally ambiguous group of people with psychic abilities. It delves into characters that follow a blurred line between being good to themselves but bad to most of those around them.
I can see why people are frustrated with this read, especially in regards to how the characters portray themselves and their actions. But it makes me wonder and think about of what I would have done in such situations.
Besides, if people didn't finish it for the story, they certainly should have stayed for the art and design of this book. It flowed perfectly, and the action was portrayed positively violent! Thankfully, sequences that were easier to follow than most action scenes in comics these days. - I especially enjoyed the page breaks between each issue in this graphic novel, with a small design and quoted typography. Nicely done!
I look forward to reading more.
