Rapture by Matt Kindt
4.0
'Rapture' by Matt Kindt with art by Cafu is an odd fantasy graphic novel from the Valiant universe. This volume collects Rapture single issues #1-4.
Tama wanders the weird world of Deadside. She is a geomancer and has a powerful book to aid her. She finds reason to stop a tower from being built in Deadside and collects a team from Earth, including Ninjak, Punk Mambo, and Shadowman (aka Magpie). They are joined by a warrior named Rex and they are trying to stop someone named Babel who has found power in spoken words and wants to use them for bad things.
I really liked this trippy story. I'm really only familiar with Ninjak, but the other characters are all pretty equally interesting. I liked the blend of unique powers and gifts and how they are used. I really liked the lush art to tell the story. This was a really nice one to get to read.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Valiant Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
