A review by chantaal
Blackwater by Jeannette Arroyo, Ren Graham
Did not finish book. Stopped at 37%.
DNF @ page 110. This is billed as Riverdale meets Stranger Things, but honestly the only similarities I saw was the fact that these kids are in high school.
I hated every single character in this. The way they talked and acted made no damn sense, and the flow of the story made little sense either. Characters pop up out of nowhere for a scene then disappear. The pacing is all over the place, and though I read 110 pages out of the 300 in this graphic novel, I don't really know what the point is beyond bullying sucks and, uh, maybe these guys might have a crush on each other. Also maybe one of them is becoming a werewolf. And there's a ghost? Who the hell knows.
The art is okay, though the character design is one I personally don't like (everybody has big jaws. big big jaws). I don't think the art itself had any real flow, each panel feels like it exists in a world of its own, even though multiple panels take place in one scene.
Glad I tried this out, but meh.
