A review by idleemma
Icarus by Gregory A. Wilson
2.0
I received an advanced reader copy for free via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
The synopsis of this graphic novel sounded intriguing to me but, unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet my expectations based on that. I liked the art well enough - I thought the backgrounds were great - but the story felt so rushed. There’s promise in it but there was little set up for events and no tension being built around the situations the characters got themselves into because before you knew it they’d just be moving onto something else. I felt like if it just slowed down, the story could have spent more time on making me care about the characters.
