Book Reviews of The Black Order Brigade
Book Review: The Definitive Graphic Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
I can proudly say this is the toast of my graphic novel collection. In fact, I think this book defines the term "graphic novel". In its 78 pages, it spins itself like a true novel, with rich characterizations and complex set-pieces. True, there are lots of dialogues and voice-overs, but they never drag the story down. The story I won't reveal, but it reminded me of the Sam Peckinpah film "The Wild Bunch" in that the main protagonists are a bunch of men( and one woman ) well past their prime who assemble for one last job. Only, the job here is eliminating a bunch of equally old Fascist mercenaries. The bottom line is: If you are an admirer of mature graphic novels, buy this book. If not, stick to "X-Men".
