A review by bookstorebinge
Black Road, Volume 1: The Holy North by Garry Brown, Brian Wood, Dave McCaig
3.0
Time taken to read: 30 minutes
Rating: 3 stars
The art style of this graphic novel was really impressive. The best descriptor I could give is gritty. It makes use of a limited colour panel, using splashes of red to really make an impression and make the frequent blood really pop on the page. Making it more vivid and in some cases shocking. The disappointing part of this novel in parts for me personally was the story. Some pages were quite text heavy, which isn't really traditional in this style of comic, and at the time of writing this review (a significant period of time after reading the graphic novel), I am quite limited in what I remember from this story. It is quite a brutal story, and definitely for those with an interest in on the road, adventure stories based within a nordic or viking style setting.
