This is another one I haven't finished yet but I can already see some of the amazing things it's doing. Even though I haven't finished I can see that this comic is brilliantly designed with not only every aspect of it's visuals but also with the arrangement of the narrative as well. This is really an example one of works that comes along an pushes the boundaries of this medium and others by exploring all that is possible and delves into what wasn't even known to be possible, implementing new techniques and bringing about new thoughts and ideas for the reader as well as other current and upcoming creators.
In this Graphic Novel everything including the design of the pages, characters, and even speech bubbles are reflections of Asterios and the people and world around him. This comic would not be the same at all if it was trying to be more representational. I especially like the portions where every person in a panel has a unique visual representation that reveals their inner-character and the way they think.
This is really a great example that comics can get people thinking as much as anything else can. I'm really looking forward to getting through the rest of it.
