I really liked this graphic novel! The story was dark, but engrossing! I want volume 2 right now because need answers. Paul is fascinating character and ending was amazing.
Overall I can't wait for the next volume.

'Dark One Volume 1' by Brandon Sanderson, Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, Nathan C. Gooden and Kurt Michael Russell is an graphic novel based on original material by Brandon Sanderson.
When we meet Paul Tanasin, he is in therapy for the visions of a dark world he has and the invisible woman talking to him who claims to be his sister. One day, he finds himself in that world, and learns that he has a part to play in the mysterious 'narrative,' but it's not a part he wants to necessarily play.
I didn't like this story until I realized that it was just the first part. The ending of this one is so bleak that it felt defeating, but that's a good spot for a sequel. The art is pretty good and there are some nice double page spreads with lots of detail.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Vault Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I'm so confused.
It was a great story, and the artwork was wonderful of course, and it was definitely Sanderson... but I don't know exactly what the moral is. Maybe "love the unlovable"? Even the villains deserve a chance? I hope there's a sequel, or else someone just needs to explain this ending to me. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take away.
