Victor Lavalle's Destroyer, Volume 1 by Victor LaValle

4.0

So intriguing! The only thing that kept me from 5 stars is there plot had to squeeeeeze to fit into a single volume. I'm not sure what constraints the author/creative team had, but this story can hold so much more depth. That said, LaValle created beautiful, rich characters, a gripping background and novel technology in a short span. I appreciate the retelling of Frankenstein. I also appreciate this story as an ode to black women, and mother's of black boys specifically.
