Luna Park. Writer, Kevin Baker (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Too abstract and bizarre to make any sense. The best thing about this book is the artwork, which paints a surreal portrait of this dark and dreary world. Unfortunately, the story suffers. The characters lack the kind of depth expected in a story so glum and tragic. I should feel for their situation, but I just don't. And the ending...um... I get it, but it don't get it. At least not enough to enjoy the book. this is what great graphic work can do that no other medium does: intense, horrific, visuals. no hard working through text, the darkness is literal. no quickly passing scenes as in film. you can look, you can build the horror, you can never escape- the narrative is gripping, the artwork is beautiful, the layers of images like the best film, immediate and overwhelming as images in robbe-grillet. great work.
What do You think about Luna Park. Writer, Kevin Baker (2011)?
Cheap computer Generated artwork and a cheap storyline using cheap metaphors. Absolutely awful.
—Ruth
The art was absolutely amazing, the story was trite and I hated the main character.
—DTS
In the top five graphic novels I've read all year. Just lush and captivating.
—metria
Great artwork... but the story is just too stinkin' dark. Didn't finish.
