Justin McGuire Comic Reviews

"Darwin: An Exceptional Voyage" is a beautiful work, one of the most faithful adaptations I've read, and, like the original, an inspiring work for any budding scientist.

World War 1 is a criminally underrepresented war in art, across all art mediums. There are a dozen viewpoints to World War 2, but only one viewpoint for WW1, and that's the trench. It was captured best in Jacques Tardi's It Was the War of the Trenches. But this comic doesn't join Tardi's masterpiece, because this isn't a war comic. "One Story" is deeply psychological comic. It's two tragedies of two distant family members. It's different pain, but pain is universal.

This is a smart and incredibly dense comic, especially for just 64 pages. Passmore has a lot to say. I can't wait to read everything else he creates.
