This graphic novel is written by the same author as Ghostopolis. I remembered really liking that one, so I picked this up on a whim, hoping for a good story. I wasn’t disappointed.
The story follows a family on vacation (or trying to be on vacation) on a strange, bad island. As they explore the island filled with bad creatures, the reader follows a parallel story that illuminates the mystery a bit more (though it doesn’t make much sense until the end of the book).
I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the silly jokes (so many silly jokes–it was perfect). The art is also spectacular. I highly recommend this one to those who enjoy graphic novels, or light-hearted stories of the bizarre. I might even buy this one to keep (I KNOW), so you know just how much I liked it. Go grab a copy!
