anakuroma 's review for:

Championess by Tarun Shanker, Kelly Zekas
4.0

*Many thanks to Legendary Comics and NetGallery for the eARC of this graphic novel*

TW: Violence, racism, murder, physical trauma triggers for main character, strangling, cockfighting

The cover of this graphic novel blew me away and me hooked right in. I already knew what I was getting, and wasn't disappointed after reading! The art was crisp, clear, and very reminiscent of classic comic book styles, but with its own flair and unique aesthetic.

The historical aspects seem on point, and though I'm no expert in the subject, what I did already know the story seemed to follow.

My only complaint would be there were moments that dragged on a bit too long, or could have been mentioned in afterthought, rather than take us through each step, but the slowness didn't hamper my enjoyment.
