Deogratias, a Tale of Rwanda by Alexis Siegel, Jean-Philippe Stassen

3.0

The art and comic style of this graphic novel was fine, but there was something about the storytelling itself that left something to be desired. I honestly enjoyed the prologue more than the meat of the story itself, which probably lends itself to the fact that the characters were written in such a distasteful manner. Everyone who is 'fleshed out' (primarily Deogratias and the men he encounters frequently) are rather disgusting, and the more sympathetic people are barely touched upon. I think that the subject matter is important, but I do wish it gave a bit more than this book does.
