Asterious polyp


Asterious Polyp is a great graphic novel, it has a unique style of creating a comic narrative. The writing is witty and more the story along effortlessly. I got lost within its pages for a solid morning which hasn't happened in a long time. The story is that of a man who's ego destroys him and so he must rebuild himself. It is also a tale of lost love, the tale is rather depressing but the those are show against him as he has begun to rebuild himself. So you see im at his worst as he begins to get a grip on his life. I love how the style of the artist would change depending on the situation that was going on. My favorite mix was how he show the melding of a person's soul with another's by outlining them differently or buy showing there style of furniture, It worked beautifully. The artist was also able to get almost an instant read on everything, which is not a easy task to set for oneself. I would have to say that Asterious Polyp gave me more then my expectation had hope for and I was pleasantly surprised by the tale. Every works together so beautifully with in the scenes of this graphic novel, although it did take a bit to get what was going on but after it was understood two separate tales were going on everything just fell right into place.
