The premise seems interesting. What cost does immorality ask for?

Even though I watched the movie first, reading the graphic novel was still enjoyable and it was so much fun trying to figure out the differences between the two, and think which was done better. I was definitely reading all of Andy’s dialogue in Charlize Theron’s voice because I can’t get her out of my head. And my favorite scene of the movie - Joe’s romantic confession about Nicky - was even more heartwarming and spectacular in the book and I don’t think I can forget it anytime soon. To conclude, this is a cool story and the artwork is interesting (maybe not completely to my taste but I have no complaints) but I think you’ll enjoy it much more if you read it first and then watch the movie. But undoubtedly both the formats are very good and I can’t wait to read the sequel which releases later this year.

I thought this graphic novel was just fine. The art style really didn’t work for me, to the point where I found it hard to decipher what was going on within each panel. This may have been alleviated if I had read the physical graphic novel rather than trying to read it on my phone but I have my doubts. I also found myself lost and not attached to the characters as much as I would have liked to be. This is definitely an action-centered story and as a character-driven reader, it just didn’t work for me as well as I’d hoped it would. It’s also hard to rate just the first installment of any graphic novel because it’s only a small snippet of the overall story arc. Unfortunately, this first snippet did not draw me in nearly enough to want to pick up the second installment. However, the small character moments we had I did find enjoyable. With such a large cast, it was hard to find myself rooting for anyone and there were many times in the beginning I found myself getting confused as to who is who. Once I finally adjusted to the characters and their names, I found myself enjoying it slightly more than I had at the very beginning but again, not enough to even consider trying the second installment. This graphic novel is perfect for action fans who are tired of the “typical” super hero tropes one sees in a lot of graphic novels that are out today.
