inkandplasma 's review for:

Titan, Volume 1 by François Vigneault
DID NOT FINISH

I received a copy of this from Netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.

DNF @ 20%

I liked the concept behind this a lot, but it lost me somewhere in execution. The art is excellent, but the dialogue was too much and overwhelmed the page. There was so much going on that it was hard to read, with a lot of visuals and a lot of words crammed into each page, and right at the start there was so much exposition that it made me immediately weary. Graphic novels should show, not tell, and this just didn't do that for me. I also found the white text on the pink background really hard to read, and squinting at the page to read him talking to his internal systems got old fast.

I think the idea behind this is excellent, and the plot is interesting if standard sci-fi fare, but unfortunately I just struggled to get into it, which is a shame because I was getting Murderbot-esque vibes at first and had high hopes.
