Duffy and Jennings did a great job with this graphic novel. It flows nicely and the illustrations are impressive. I recommend reading Butler’s book first if you can for a fuller appreciation. Even so, I was impressed with how well the narrative flowed in a more condensed format.

This was a great graphic novel adaptation! I had a hard time getting motivated to pick it up because the subject matter is so heavy, but overall, they do an excellent job adapting the novel to this form. The first half felt a bit slow to me, but once they were on the road, the pace was good. Excited to check out the adaptation of Parable of the Talents next!
