Blacklung Kindle & comiXology
"I could not have imagined how impressive a work Blacklung would turn out to be. It's a graphic novel, both in its vernacular term and in a more literal sense, violent and horrible and poetic at the same time -- the sort of thing McCarthy might write if he were more interested in pirates than cowboys or Appalachians. Blacklung is a great book; canonically great." - Chris Schweizer (Crogan's Adventures)

The reason I mention this is because I think Blacklung is one of those rare graphic novels that delivers to both types of readers. A casual fan of offbeat comics will immediately notice the highly stylized and incredible artwork, and the story line is adequate to keep the reader interested. The narrator is the captive of a pirate captain whose obsession leads him down a brutal and destructive path.
When I finished the book thats pretty much what I took away from it. But like all great books, when I was done reading I knew there was something more. Its that feeling that stays with you and keeps you thinking about what you just read. Its hard for me to interpret and express, but Blacklung has it.
I would have rated the book a 4.5/5 if possible, but I give it -.5 stars because my copy shipped with a few pages out of order near the beginning of the book. This left me really confused until I noticed the issue and managed to reread the section in order. No fault of the author's for sure.
