Savior (Purple Heart, #1) by Éric Warnauts

Art by Warnauts and Raives I started and stopped this book a couple of times before I actually saw it all the way through.

This is the kind of Graphic Novel that can be enjoyed by a younger audience and adults alike.

The Two Lives of Penelope by Judith Vanistendael

In my effort to work my way through older books which I acquired quite a while ago, I am reading graphic novels again. This is one such book.It took me a while to get used to the art style, but the further I got into the narrative, it seemed best suited to narrate the story.…
