The Storm in the Barn by Matt Phelan
2.0
Very quick read, even for a graphic novel.
The concept was interesting - the physical manifestation of a weather phenomenon so humans could, essentially, control their destiny/solve a problem.
The blurb for this graphic novel stated that it was “sparse” and that is certainly true. It was a little too sparse for me. I suppose it’s meant to be isolating as I’m sure it was incredibly isolating during the Dust Bowl.
I like Phelan’s concepts and I like his art but this particular story didn’t wow me. I enjoyed his reasoning behind writing this story more than the actual story.
