Pretty interesting first issue! Reminds me a bit of Wicked + The Divine, the artwork is amazing! Will definitely check this out in trade!
I would have given this 2 stars for the story. It was really just meh. The writing and plot could be better. But I am still giving this 3 stars mainly for the beautiful art.
The artwork in this graphic novel is gorgeous! I wish I can have a physical copy of it! I also love how fast-paced it is but without leaving important details!
It’s got the potential to be a good story.
beautiful art work. reminds me a lot of wicked and the divine storywise. the pacing was bit off.
The art style is stunning, the storytelling is a little clunky.
Very strong first issue!Blackbird is a story about Nina, who had predicted an earthquake when she was a teen, she saw a ghost/magic creature save her and her sister but everybody forgot it, expect for Nina. Ten years later, Nina is searching for magic and magic people while working deadend job in the bar, until one day things change.The art is absolutely gorgeous, I love the character designs and the coloring, the panel composition is also excellent, I inhaled the issue in a breath, I'm looking
Stunning. The illustrations are so absolutely breathtaking. I really like the magical aspects of the story and the broken family dynamics and familial relationships
Overall 3.5. Story: 3, Art: 5.
Art was really nice, but the story? Not so much. I know with issues of comics it can be hard to develop the story because of the limited pages, but this was still a bit of a mess. Nina was pretty annoying, I know she’s going through a lot but I still couldn’t really connect with her. I found the storyline to be a bit jumbled as well and wish it was a bit more cohesive. Luckily for me this issue was available to read for free though Image so I didn’t spend money (or much time) on it. The ending d...
A very interesting start of a new comic series. The graphic work is great. And the plot is upto my liking. Yay! 😁 It starts with an incident of earthquake where everyone along with Nina, the only one who believes in magic, sees a great turquoise loin. (Wow! How beautiful it was!). But a magical being, also called paragon, removes everyone's memory but Nina still remembers the incident. Now after ten years, she again sees that creature but...(view spoiler)[this time it takes her sister and disapp...
As the very first issue in the series, I suppose it's not surprising how rushed and choppy it feels. The writing also felt very forced and unnatural. That said, the art is absolutely stunning and I AM interested in what the magical world will bring, so might continue reading these!
I almost didn't finish Blackbird, but it seemed silly to DNF a comic. They're too short not to finish, you know? I also kept hoping the story would improve, but Nina was an incredibly frustrating character. She remembers magic that no one else does, and it quickly becomes an obsession.I feel like the first issue of a new comic has to be informative, which Blackbird was not. Nina was able to predict a natural disaster before it happened, but it never tells you why. Mysterious, magical beings eras...
Is something wrong with my cbr copy or is the book too short?I thought it's called graphic 'novel'😐 like novel as in 250-300 pages long.Honestly I've no idea about these things, heck I don't even go to the graphic novel or comic section in my library😂😂😂
Let's be clear: Jen Bartel is a goddess. Obviously, the cover for this series is fantastic and the interior art (for the most part) matches it as well. This first issue is a lot of flashback and setup so it's hard to make a judgement call on the writing just yet. Feels very YA-ish, also picking up some The Wicked + The Divine vibes.Interested to see where this goes and will keep picking it up.
The novel is actually great!!!
Complete garbage. Trying to rip off Wicked+Divine, even down to the art, but the writing is the absolute worst ever.
The cover art pulled me to read this and so far good. I like the art but the story seems like all the YA books. Let's see how the second issue goes
Mini review:Spoilers ahead! Trigger warning: Earthquake, death, mention of car accident, and drug addiction.I heard about this comic series via Twitter. I love magic and sister relationships. Blackbird was on my list off highly anticipated series. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy it. I found this first chapter to be rushed and sort off choppy. The beginning was decent and did a good job portraying the relationships between the characters. I also think Nina's drug addiction is done well. When Nina fi...
This is so hard to rate. The artwork? Stunning! Like maybe the most beautiful I’ve read. The plot? So cool, like out of this world awesome, I want more. The DIALOGUE seems like it was written by a child...one with no ambition to write. It was so juvenile and choppy ): I admit because of the things I loved about it, I’m picking the next volume up and praying for improvement. But damn, what a bummer.TW: grief, loss of parent, drug addiction and car accident.
