The Griff: A Graphic Novel by Christopher Moore, Ian Corson
3.0
I love Christopher Moore and I only found out that this existed a few months ago. I had to give this a read. The art and graphics were well done and some of the panels didn't give enough information so that some transitions took some time to figure out what happened. There wasn't enough for the transitions to make sense some of the time.
The story is rather funny. Dragons basically come from space and take over the world. They come in huge hoards and kill everyone around. It's scary, but of course a few people have made it and live on. Our characters are in NYC and decide to head south to Florida where a huge space ship has recently blown up down there. Who did it, they are curious?
I love the twist at the end. It works out very well. It's not the same dialogue and humor as a Christopher Moore novel, but you can still feel the humor to a degree. I think he just needs to do another graphic novel and it will be better now that he has done it.
It was an interesting concept. We are not prepared for living animals coming from space to attack us. I did wonder how they made it through space. Being an animal they would have to breath something. I thought this was a nice twist on alien invasions. It's certainly unique.
