the art was probably some of the prettiest illustrations i’ve seen and my eyes absolutely devoured it up. but the writing was confusing, the story was fragmented and the pacing was erratic, as if the writer didn’t bother editing their work. and it was this kind of shitty writing and unlikable cast of characters that’s brought me to the decision to give this book 2 stars unfortunately 😕
This was incredible. The art is beautiful, the characters captured me, the plot had me absolutely hooked. I loved this so much.
Really love the art! The story is a bit rushed, but I'm hoping it'll improve in the coming volumes.
Review to ComeThis had beautiful artwork, but the story line was almost incoherent. It didn't do a good job of explaining anything. It felt like on of those weird vivid dreams that you have when you're sleeping, where one minute your holding a scepter and the next moment you have a cat talking to you. You have no idea how you got there, what's going on, or what the point of it all is. And then you wake up with only weird flashes to remind you of it. Does that make any sense? Well, it makes about...
How many times can you use the word gnarly2 stars for the awesome artwork
Quick retro review of a quick read for the start of a series that I definitely plan on picking up further. I picked up "Blackbird Volume 1" on the part of a recommendation from Booktuber Maddie/The Book Pusher. (I should probably make a list of Booktubers I follow regularly, since I do take recommendations from several I follow.) Jen Bartel's amazing artwork hooked me in from the moment I saw the stunning cover, and the premise is an interesting one. Volume 1 of the series compiles issues #1-6.N...
2 stars ⭐It was an ok read. I wish more of the magic system had been explained and things weren't so rushed because it made it very confusing. If I'm being honest, I had no idea what the plot of this was and only picked it up because the cover is absolutely gorgeous as is the artwork on the inside.
jen bartel's art?? gorgeous. sam humphries' plot??? solidly mediocre.
Fun story and I loved the art!
THE ART IS BEAUTIFUL I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS ARTAt first the story is just okay, but I loved the outcome. I'm very curious to know what's going to happen!
The art is beautiful but the plot makes NO SENSE.
Reading this caused me physical pain. Nina, the main character, is incredibly annoying and stupid. All I can remember is "omg" everywhere and how all is cute and just ugh. No. Definitely not for me. 1,5/5. Just because of art.
This was fun and the art is beautiful. However for me the story was a bit rushed and the magic system is still really hazy to me. I'm intrigued to continue with the story once the second volume is out.
I’m going to add some of the art from the book because I appreciate when others do that as well. It takes a good amount of time for me to do this so I hope y’all can appreciate that I’m doing it for y’all and can like it for what it is, not for any boring ole line I can try to flesh out. Love to y’all! The story is bit odd but I want to continue. Art is fantastic! Commence with some pics!Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
"I'm the only one with the power to make my life better"The vibrant color collection on any given page is dessert to the eye.The plot was a bit predictable at some points, but overall it was entertaining.I’ll definitely be on the lookout for the next issue.
Damn I can’t wait to see where this goes. Full review to come.
Well that sucked. The Art The art was good…sometimes. Usually, it was painfully awkward and had that certain quality so common in Western comics and graphic novels: what I call “rushed by a deft hand.” The artist was good, undeniably so, but they were also very clearly rushed, or just didn’t care about their art enough to make it look any good.The spectacle shots were all beautiful but the regular panels and character designs looked just really strange, at least in my opinion. Facial expressio...
Blackbird Vol. 1 was good. I enjoyed Nina learning more about the magical paragon/cabal world, and uncovering secrets along the way. Being completely honest most of the characters are unlikable and have very harsh personalities. I’m assuming that was on purpose, but some of them grew on me by the end. As I said I did like the story, it just felt a little all over the place at times. I think the flow was a bit off. The art work is beautiful and eye catching. Even when the story was a bit confusin...
I will be honest, I have not read many graphic novels so I am not entirely sure how to review them. But I did enjoy this story; it's fast-paced and atmospheric. It did probably take an hour to read it, or even less, except I was tired last night so I fell asleep on it a couple times. The art style was amazing - honestly, it's so beautiful and I could stare at it forever. I was sad when I finished the last page because there was nothing for me to look at anymore!I do have to say that it did feel
I read this because Jen Bartel won the 2019 Eisner Award for (multiple) covers, including this one, which is striking, right? She also does the art within the book, which I liked. The story features Nina Rodriguez, who in the first volume is almost wholly unlikeable, working in a bar, painkiller-addicted, with her sister, Marina, after her mother is dead. She and Marina were once saved by some mystical beast, and Nina participates daily in online connections to magic and cabals and paragons, whi...
