Messenger: The Legend of Joan of Arc by Tony Lee

4.0

This graphic novel was fantastic! I went with 4 stars instead of 5 because I would have liked to see a longer story. Joan's history as a military commander and all the battles she went through were gone over pretty quickly, and the story focused instead on her first hearing the voices and then her trial later. I would have been happy to read more of the middle. It still told the story quite well and covered the major points about her life. The writing and the art were compelling. There were a few single pages of Joan that were pretty epic, powerful images.
