I didn't know that the position and dialogue of the characters mattered so much– I'm used to funny comics, so I didn't consider the careful design of the story through the panels in Dark Knight Returns. It's more poignant than a movie because every single panel/frame tells a miniature story of it's own. But I cannot deny how much the style, art, and story absorbed me from the very beginning.įor people like me who have never read a graphic novel or superhero comic before, I'll lay out the main things about this read that surprised me that I liked:ġ) The style was like watching a really old cartoon– in each panel, you can tell that there is almost a shocking amount of thought going into the components and layout of each panel. As someone who thoroughly disliked Man of Steel and didn't finish the Dark Knight movie, I have to say that this graphic novel series was surprisingly fantastic and showed me something about DC that the movies just didn't communicate to me.įirst of all, this was my first graphic novel, so I may just be reeling from this new style I've been exposed to. ![]()
