destdest 's review for:
Leon the Extraordinary: A Graphic Novel
by Jamar Nicholas
adventurous
lighthearted
medium-paced
+ I enjoyed the story.
+ Love that Leon literally had the power of common sense
+ For MHA fans, Leon is basically Deku. A sweet child who knows everything about the heroes.
+ Explores the conversation of judging people base doff their parents and falling into stereotypes.
+ Explores the conversation of judging people base doff their parents and falling into stereotypes.
+ The mother-son relationship. there’s a little depth with Leon feeling lied to about his mom’s super identity, and she explains with foreshadowing why heroes keep that secret. I wasn’t expecting this, but it was nice.
- Clementine was too much. I get she was acting out, but she had like full-blown hatred that didn’t make sense. she only got attention for acting poorly… okay… he r parents were celebrity superheroes who didn’t have time for her, but why did she hate Leon so much??? Hopefully, the next book covers that more.
- The artwork looked unfinished at times. As an artist myself, I’m in no way discounting the gruesomely tedious hard work it is to create anything, especially a graphic novel. But too many times, Chalmers was left completely unshaded next to shaded characters. And Clementine was drawn off model at times.
