A review by geekwayne
Bezkamp by Samuel Sattin
4.0
'Bezkamp' by Samuel Sattin with art by Jen Hickman is a graphic novel with an interesting SF story at its heart.
Nem is a disappointment to his father Migal. They live in a village called BezKamp and are at war with creatures on the planet. Nem would rather try to dig for old artifacts to try to figure out the past. In a world where reading and writing are banned, his choices make him unpopular. Migal is determined to make his son a warrior and teache him about "Creejun" which is used to terraform.
I liked this story, but it took a while to get used to the odd way the characters speak. A hint for readers might be to sound things out. The language is a derivation of English (as might happen without writing or literature). The art wasn't initially my favorite, but it also grew on me. By the end, I did enjoy this.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Lion Forge, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
