2 Comic Reviews

The first review is of "My Darling, My Dear" so I decided to read this because I like love stories and I know the person who wrote it.
Pros: It was super cute and cheesy.  I like the picture of the heart puddle it was a nice touch.  It is unlike any graphic novel I've ever read before.  It's strength was that it was a real life experience that brought joy to the two people involved.  The happiness and joy were clear in the graphic novel.
Cons: It was too cheesy! I didn't particularly like all the photos as the artwork.  I also felt rushed and I felt it needed more dialogue/content.

The second review is of "Alice".  I really like the book Alice in Wonderland I decided to read the graphic novel based off of it.
Pros: It had a good solid story and the artwork was decent.  I also really liked the twist and how the characters she killed in "Wonderland" are representations of who she killed in real life.
Cons: I didn't like how the comic was dispersed from panel to panel.  I had a difficult time reading it.  I also found a lot of spelling errors that bothered me.
