I don't read much in the graphic novel format but have had this on my TBR shelves for a while.
Graphic is the prompt for #tbrTarot this month so finally getting to it. The artwork is amazing.
What if a biological terror agent wiped out most of humanity, and our domesticated animals were left in charge? How would our dogs and cats set about ruling and rebuilding the world?

pickI loved the series so I thought I‘d check out the source material! I enjoyed it and would read more issues.

pickVolume 1&2 of the graphic novel adaptation of The Stand.
I'm actually impressed at how well the story is paced so far. For example, they don't waste a lot of pages on Nick's time as deputy, but they leave space for scenes like Lloyd's prison time and the Lincoln Tunnel to breathe. The artist is the same that recently underwhelmed me with heavy lines and thick shadows in The Bat-Man First Knight, and he's still not my favorite, but it happens.
pickFucking SPECTACULAR! Had no idea I would end up loving this as much as I did.
Gorgeous art (tragically Dan Mora's art only features in variant covers, but happily the regular artists for the issues are also amazingly talented) that effortlessly brings you into the place and time of this particular alternate medieval-ish fantasy world. 1/?
Entry 2 in Dan Mora art appreciation.
Case in point:
Pretty | Buff.
Sharp Lines | Drawn with Delicacy. 🤌🏻👌🏻
Bless you, Dan Mora, for drawing female characters as awesomely as you draw male ones. 👏🏻 There are some commonalities: sharp, yet delicate lines, pretty, but in no way down-playing when they're outrageously buff. When it comes to the unrealistic standards of superhero bods, I like my fantasy art in the realm of more intricately tailored eye candy. 😍
pickThis is hard to rank. The art is glorious but quite violent & sexualized. The story, as it were, is as well. In brief the Kabuki are a team of female assassins working for a shadowy Japanese government group called the Noh.
Very, very Kill Bill before Kill Bill existed but you can bet Tarantino read David Mack‘s work. Apart from storyline is lettering often intense & hard to follow on blackwork.
A beloved series released on Dark Horse Comics.
pickMy library system is hitting it out of the park with this year‘s Community Read selections. Art Club is the MG pick and it is delightful! The artwork is colorful and fun. I love the story of kids forming an art club, exploring different styles of art, and proving to school administration and the community how art is important, too.
