The art! Is very well done, and there's some cool style shifts to reference different media (Tim Burton style, Hungry caterpillar, old comic cover illustration style to name a few) and it's done in a way thats not jarring. Five stars for art.

The story was clear and easy to follow, but with uneven pacing. Also Nora was a bit tooo quirky at first and Victor too possessive. Three stars for story, it was just okay

This….wasn’t what I was expecting. But also? Now that I think back on what I know of DC comics and how things tend to go in Gotham, this is kind of what I would expect to see. It’s been really interesting diving into all these new retcon’ed backstories for DC’s villains. Victor Fries is one that I didn’t really know anything about other than the basics.

I think the thing that I enjoyed the most about this graphic novel was the slow transition from a love story to a tragedy. While this wasn’t my favorite graphic novel I’ve ever read, I did think that the author handled Nora’s illness, her mental health, and her suicidal thoughts, in a really thoughtful way. They didn’t pull any punches with any of it and I really appreciated that. So, with that said, I’m giving this 3.25 stars.

Sympa mais sans plus. La romance est un peu rapide et on s’attache pas énormément aux personnages. Je connaissais l’histoire de Mr. Freeze déjà donc je savais comment ça allait se terminer. Je pense que l’âge des protagonistes n’a pas joué  leur faveur. Par contre j’ai bien aimé la discussion sur la mort, le deuil. Mais aussi les différences de couleurs quand les deux protagonistes sont chacun dans « leur monde »
