A review by nickel_books
The Harlem Hellfighters by Max Brooks

3.0

This graphic novel tells a wonderful and important story, however, there is not much harmony between the words and the illustrations. In addition to so-so composition, there is not enough contrast between the text and the visuals and that makes it difficult to focus your eyes on any one particular aspect of a page. So while the illustrations are expertly drawn (and graphic) it is hard to truly appreciate either aspect of the novel because there is no direction which allows for manageable digestion of the images.
