South of the Mason-Dixon Line lies a strange land of gods and monsters; a world parallel to our own, born from centuries of slavery, civil war, and hate. Lee Wagstaff is the daughter of a black sharecropper in the depression-era town of Charon, Mississippi. When Lily Westmoreland, her white playmate, is snatched by agents of an evil creature known as Bog, Lee's father is accused of kidnapping. Lee's only hope is to follow Lily's trail into this fantastic and frightening alternate world. Along the way she enlists the help of a benevolent, blues singing, swamp monster called Bayou. Together, Lee and Bayou trek across a hauntingly familiar Southern Neverland, confronting creatures both benign and malevolent, in an effort to rescue Lily and save Lee's father from being lynched.BAYOU VOL. 2 collects four new chapters of the critically acclaimed web comic series by Glyph Award nominee Jeremy Love.
My thoughts:
It's so hard to review a graphic novel. I did not remember a lot from book 1 either (seems I read it 5 years ago). Just that they were on the run.
But the drawings are really good, that is what I want from a graphic novel. The story itself just seemed to end. There really should be more cos it can't end like that. So more please,
The story, yes they were on the run in this weird land and met rabbits in chaingangs, evil ones and more.
It's different for sure.

ReplyDeleteYeah. There really isn't much you can say about a graphic novel. First and foremost, they're typically shorter than regular books.
ReplyDeleteHa, yes they are :)
DeleteGreat job! I love seeing all of your classes now that they've started back up.
ReplyDeleteI do love having them back :D
DeleteWell, let's hope that the story didn't end :) The pics are breathtaking as usual! And yay - look at you exercising the heck out of this week, once more!! :D You're unstoppable, Linda! Enjoy your Sunday :)

ReplyDeleteI struggle to rate graphic novels, too. This one sounds strange enough to be interesting.
So very hard to review
DeleteGraphic novels are hard to review. I haven't done one in a while.
ReplyDeleteThat they are

ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
It really is hard to review graphic novels. Artwork love is different for each person. And the stories are interpreted differently by each person too, with what they see in the images. :)
ReplyDeleteWay to keep up the great exercise routines!
Well put! I agree with that
DeleteI really enjoyed Bayou (volumes 1 & 2). I wish there was more coming! I don't know if there is :-(
ReplyDeleteI do not kn ow either :/
DeletePretty pictures! Yay for the graphics being nicely done :)
