Hi good but independence novel of the altered Carbon universe. Does involve Takeshi Kovacs and is in general very readable and if you know about receiving not difficult to follow. I enjoyed it. I would say that the plot is fast moving yet well containing after a single graphic novel. I’d certainly look out for others, but I’m not sure I can make it a priority.

I finally waded my way into Sanderson graphic novels, part 2! This is going to be another write-up across to volumes (yes, only two so far, as I'm still needing to read number #3 sadly, alas!). I love, love, love this absolutely different system of magic, and the family/friend dynamics being played out everywhere. I love how Sanderson manages to pull in such disparate people(/s) and then slowly work them together, in highly believable way, with many slips and pitfalls along the way.
I am quite excited to get on to volume 3.… (mehr)

White Sand II is just as fast-pace and disorienting as the last one, I don't have enough time to really know the characters or learn about this world. There's a jarring change from a sketchy art style to a flat and dead one near the end.
I like the fights with the assassins, as well as the negotiations with the Taisha.

Story wise this is standard Takeshi :) Put to jail because of disorderly behavior Takeshi gets called to get information from only murder witness (maybe better said only person found in vicinity of murder location).
From here story just explodes. We follow Kovacs getting more and more involved (and finally getting sponsor to execute his private vengeance) in fighting through government/protectorate conspiracy, shadowy special operation teams, genocide aftermath and very advanced AI that just wants Kovacs out of the way.
On the art side it is a little bit mixed case here. Some parts are OK but some parts look like exaggerated putty constructions (you know bulgy cheekbones, head shape weird depending on perspective etc). So anatomy-wise sometimes you will see weird things depending on the perspective and body position. Artist's style might put some people off but I have no problem with it. I think it captures the characters and story itself very fine indeed and those few weird panels did not ruin anything for me.
Recommended to all fans of Takeshi Kovac, cyberpunk, noir and SF in general.… (mehr)
