Asterious Polyp
First off id like to say, im not very into graphic novels. Although I find it extremely pretty, i find that my most enjoyable consumption of media to be either through audio or visual ( video ). Thats not to say that i dont like to read, quiet the contrary. But when you have two kids, a fiance, work a job and am in the guinnepig game art major, and have never practiced art till 5 years ago, its safe to say that some sacrifices have to be made to just "keep up". I did enjoy Mazzuchelli's play at both saturation and negitive and positive space within the piece. I felt that each character and situation was a world to its own due to how it was portrayed on the page. The greek influence within the novel is very prevent. Instead of a standard hero's journey archtype, line, weight and color influence your opinion of the characters and dictate the emotional and situation. Although the reading was rushed and skimmed towards the end, I did enjoy it.
