A review by tawallah
The Shadow: Leviathan by Daniel HDR, Simon Spurrier, Dan Watters

1.0

The description of this graphic novel sounded intriguing. However it failed to live up to its premise. In essence this is a philosophical treatise using Thomas Hobbes’ social contract theory. It attempted to explain American history from the 1920s to present using this thought. Not convinced with this argument to explain societal ills. Or that the writers were able to successfully explain this theory either. The artwork is meant to be dark given the topic and tends to have graphic violence and lots of swearing. Overall, disappointing read.

I received this graphic novel from NetGalley in exchange for an hones review. Thanks to both the authors and Net Galley for this opportunity.
