After the Rain by Nnedi Okorafor

2.0

 I haven't read the short story this is based on, but it didn't translate well into a graphic novel. The art and text didn't match; like the text would say a lizard was a certain color but the art of the lizard was completely different. The story wasn't balanced. Some parts were way too wordy while others weren't wordy enough. It read like they inserted lines directly from the short story, but I'm not sure if they did or not? If they did, I think it would've worked a lot better if they allowed the dialogue and art to show rather than tell. While the art style wasn't my cup of tea I do think it fits the story incredibly well.
