Luminous Beings: A Graphic Novel
Luminous Beings: A Graphic Novel | David Arnold
2 posts | 2 read
"A gorgeously rendered adventure that captures the ache and joy of adolescence in a mad world."--Tillie Walden, award-winning author of On a Sunbeam Ty and Burger have known each other since before they could walk. But this shared history is nothing compared to their plans for the future: step one, make a killer documentary about humanitys recent brush with extinction; step two, apply to film school together; step three, achieve legendary status as the next great filmmaking duo. But Ty has a secret that will ultimately shake the foundations of their friendship and force them both to wonder if growing up means letting go of the people they once were. With heads full of bioluminescence and hearts full of fury, squizzies have one thing on their tiny rodent brains: global annihilation. Their reign of terror may be a thing of the past, but Ty and Burger are determined to chronicle the perseverance of the human race in the wake of the squirrel-pocalypse. With friends Miles and Fib, they embark on an overnight excursion through rowdy nightclubs, once-familiar neighborhoods, perilous castles, and off-grid RVs, all the while, recording quiet lives of love and loss in a strange new world. Set over the course of a single day, Luminous Beings explores the many facets of friendship and love, the heavy burden of a well-kept secret, the boundless tenacity of the human spirit, and, yes, the furriest of all zombified mammals. But dont worry, its not the end of the world. Just the end of the squirrel

I've enjoyed a few of Arnold's novels, so when I saw he had written a graphic novel, I thought I would check it out even though that isn't my usual wheelhouse. I liked but didn't love this one, involving zombie squirrels. There were a few side characters who just felt a little to bizarre for me. But there were some funny moments and the main characters were a likable crew.

Saw Arnold at the Ky book fair & bought his latest. A GN set mid-apocalypse after zombie squirrels caught a disease & started killing people. 4 friends are trying to make a documentary about the beginning of the apocalypse but end up on a different adventure. The friendships gets stronger, the craziness that happens is filmed, & I enjoyed all of it. It‘s a weird premise but fun. The squirrels do get stepped on a lot, fyi if that bothers you.
