Blink by Christopher Sebela
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley and Oni Press for the advance copy of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review.
"Blink" is a thrilling dive into a dark world of madness and voyeurism. I was intrigued to follow the journey of Wren Booker as she travels through the mazes of Blink to discover the truth behind the terrifying social experiment she escaped as a child. The highlight of the novel were its visceral illustrations and panelling, but the story itself was a bit lacking. The premise has a lot of promise, but everything is so vague and flat that I found myself sorta shrugging by the end at the lack of any resolution or explanation. Worth picking up for the art but the story left me wondering at the point of it all. Perhaps a second volume would uncover more, if another is released I'd be interested to see what's next for Wren.
