A review by internationalkris
Victor Lavalle's Destroyer, Volume 1 by Victor LaValle

4.0

I really appreciated the narrative choices and gorgeous artwork in this graphic adaptation of the Frankenstein story, though the story itself was occasionally a bit rushed and therefore hard to follow. The central character of the scientist mom was really well developed including solid connections to both #blacklivesmatter and #metoo. Her son was killed by a police officer while coming home from a little league game and though she was able to use her skills in nanotechnology to bring him back him in a form, she had to keep her accomplishments and anger hidden in order to function in society. But when the original monster created by Dr. Frankenstein returns to seek vengeance she also finds an outlet for her rage.
