Icarus by Gregory A. Wilson
3.0
Rating: 3/5
I received this eARC from Netgalley for my honest review
Icarus is a graphic novel about two unlikely heroes: a winged young man who falls into a dormant volcano with no memory of anything but his name, and a flamepetal prospector down on his luck (and everything else). Together, they must discover the secret of Icarus’ identity if they are to save their worlds from those who want his powers for themselves. We are proud to present this story of wonder, of friendship, and of a battle to overcome tyranny, with creatures who discover that what unites them at the core is more important than what divides them on the surface.
Overall a great Graphic Novel, it is a retelling of Greek mythology. With this being the first vol. There wasn’t a lot of character development, it was definitely plot development and I would be happy to be able to read the 2nd volume when it comes out. The art was amazing and really brought the world to life. I really enjoyed the two artists of this Vol, Matt Slay and Mark Dos Santos did an amazing job making sure that their art portrayed the world and compliant the words written.
I really liked the instant bond that Icarus and Jellinek had right away, it reminded me of a fatherly bond, and Rig is to die for! He is the best sidekick character ever.
I want to Thank NetGalley for my eARC and Gregory Wilson
