  Comic Bastards - Ed Allen

  Aug 30, 2012

  To some it will seem as though given Kuzimu a pretty harsh score but I feel that it’s a fair reflection of the exasperation I felt at times while reading it. I’m no philistine - I understand what that much of the first half of this graphic novel is trying to do, I appreciate that it’s supposed to progress at a meditative pace and I am well practiced in decoding poetic verse - I simply don’t think that its reflections on the afterlife succeeds until real conflict is introduced in the later stages of the book. I’d love to read comments from anyone who found the writing to be as compelling as I did the art (and I'm willing to admit I might have missed out on some crucial aspect of the book which could invalidate everthing I've said here) but just as Uren has produced his comic on his own terms, I have got to review it on mine.
