A Contract with God

This graphic novel, in my opinion, was really really compelling. It sunk it's hooks into me, and I couldn't stop reading. I really enjoyed the gritty, dark nature of it, although it does get a little too intense for my tastes at some points. The way the panels are laid out with the white space, and the art style really lend to the mood of the novel. The ink work definitely sets a dark, mysterious tone throughout. It's definitely a different turn from other things we've been looking at, which have been fun and whimsical. Contract is definite proof that comics are NOT just for children, and can deal with some pretty heavy subject matter suitable only for adults.
