Well, this graphic novel award wins the award for taking the longest to read. It took DAYS and lots of squinting. I absolutely hated the font--all capital letters and small and squished together, so I had to hold the book close to my face. I got a headache from concentrating so hard. Yuck. Basically, this is the story of a man gone bad and then plotting to take out all those who wronged him. I couldn't help thinking of an evil Batman. The city was Gotham-like--dark and evil and a futuristic society where the government controlled everything and the common people didn't care or think. All in all, I didn't mind the plot. But I didn't like the artwork or font. The watercolors were garish and the words were just too darn hard to read. I have perfect vision and don't like to be reminded of what my eyes will be like in 10-20 years!
