The Dark by Mark Sable

Cawpile: 3.5* 5.79

Another one of the graphic novels that aren’t really my type of book but I need for a readathon. The artwork wasn’t bad, the setting reasonably realistic, just a bit to gung-ho gore for my liking to be honest.

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This one felt a bit rushed. There were some interesting concepts, and I liked the art for the first half or so (then it seemed to change a bit and be almost... uncanny valley in some way?). 

Bit turned off by the ending, total lack of consent up in there.

I really liked the worldbuilding in this story. The idea that military units would be able to be so intimately connected via something akin to the Internet is rather cool. And then there is the backlash to such a thing coming into existence. There is a bit of a mystery as two of these characters try to find out who is orchestrating the destruction of this network. The art was pretty good. Not quite what I would expect from some of the larger publishers but done well overall.

Pros: trans MC and some interesting ideas. Cons: terrible art and bad pacing. I wish I could have liked it more.
