My 1-star 41 page Graphic
Novel bande dessinee hardcover Tome, is jam-packed with everything
I've ever hoped to get to see in a comic book, to the point of almost
50% of my graphic novel being comprised of aspect shots. Out of the
41 pages of narrative art, 20 of the panels in those pages were
aspect shot. The majority of them almost, if not half of the pages.
It's the first American comic to go the Maya Deren aspect shot route
on a more extensive basis, perhaps to its detriment. None of my
Amazon reviewers seemed to even pick up on that aspect and instead
labeled my intensive theoretical effort “amateurish” and “lazy”.
But the execution, although widely ignored by my readership and
reviewers on Goodreads and Amazon, lived up to my expectations and
went well beyond them. I'm thrilled with how End Times: Blaque As
Hell turned out. It's a graphic novel that uses more aspect shots, or aspect to aspect transitions than any other American comic book has in the history of American comics.
