Relation During Books The Crow (The Crow (Kitchen Sink Press))

I read a review within the very walls of this site that stated that this novel deserved no more that 2 stars. The reasoning, it seems, is that all of the characters, other than "the crow", are card board and underdeveloped.

I respect people's opinion. And, if I were to judge this book against the greats of literature, or even the greats of Graphic novels, I might have to agree. The story is violently stupid, and stupidly violent. The characters for the most part are underdeveloped stereotypes. This certainly is not Shakespear. Or, Hawthorne. Or,(fill-in-the-blank).

But all art, in my opinion, must first be judged against itself. This story, told in graphic novel format, is not an attempt at classical literature. It is barely even a story. It is revenge. It is heart-ache. This story is a thesis on one man's descent into grief. It is a pictorial study of loss and the inability to see the good when so consumed by agony that one cannot fathom ever experiencing joy again. All of us have felt this reckless torment, where everyday the sun refused to shine, and most of us have clawed our way back to normalcy, replacing grief with acceptance and have moved on. We forget that pain. That pain is too woeful. This story is a reminder of that painful depth. It is a black mirror to our sunny dispositions.

In that, this story, presented in graphic novel format, accomplishes exactly what was intended. Graphic novels are not written to be cool. They are written to be honest, just like all other forms of art.

Judge Regarding Books The Crow (The Crow (Kitchen Sink Press))

The first and probably the best of the Crow comics. The art is great, very moody and gritty in black and white. The storyline is good as well, but sometimes tends to meander and get a little existential. The movie did a good job of bringing the story to its core, which is a revenge story where The Crow comes back from the dead and avenges the death of his fiancee and himself. I love the mythology of the Crow bringing the spirit back from the dead to take care of unfinished business as well. The

I gotta admit it, I am a bit disappointed with this graphic novel. The crow is famous within the cult group of comics and movies, but, for some reason, I was expecting more.O' Barr's novel tells the story of Eric, who returns from the dead. Blinded by hate, vengeance and anger, the Protagonist seeks vengeance on those who killed him and his beloved dame, Shelly.The story is in its entirely a witness of anger, and loathing, with violent combat scenes. The Crow is undoubtedly dark, and the author

This is a gruesome dichotomy of letters and images painting one hell of a warpath. I want all graphic novels to carry such poignancy. "In the doorway of glory he finds Death who puts his hands in hers and whispers to him, "Now... Come home, now.""Soon," he says." Mind you, reader, this is my first graphic novel that I have read to completion outside of superheroes... what a first it was!The images have imprinted themselves onto my brain. Tiny pieces of words pricked like shards of glass. I am

Wow!!! I first came in contact with The Crow by the movie when I was a kid 20-25 years ago and this movie just let a strong feeling on me, probably watch it way to young... Anyway, when I found out recently that it was based on a graphic novel I instantly bought it and it was worth every cents and seconds! It is a sad and dark story about love, revenge and forgiveness. The story is marvelous but so are the illustrations, all black and white, but I really love the drawing style. A masterpiece!

I absolutely loved this book and many thanks to the wonderful individual without whom I never would have touched this book (she knows who she is). The reader definitely experiences the rawness of The Crow's pain portrayed not just through the dialogue and actions but also through the artwork. The subject matter is dark and the book physically reflects this as well. It is a true gem and I encourage all to read it, even if it's not your typical read.
