Be More Chill: The Graphic Novel by Ned Vizzini, David Levithan

2.0

I didn't realize this is a graphic novel adaptation of the musical which is itself an adaptation of a book. Doesn't work! The story line is fine, but there are a lot of dropped plot lines and motifs, weak characterization. I think this work was leaning too much on the musical and that structure, failed to fully adapt to the graphic novel format. Interesting art but I found it a bit unpleasant, and not really fitting with the story in any special way. Kind of spare in a 'Nancy' way, but not tightly inked. Didn't work for me.
