review:

'Meka' is the new graphic novel by Jean-David Morvan is one I've been looking forward to reading. As a fan of his writing on 'Naja' and 'Zaya' I was hoping for another interesting story. 'Meka' is a still good story, but not as good as others I've read by him.



The book opens with giant robots fighting over a city. When one of them crashes, we find out there are people piloting them. These people miss out on their rescue and must make their way through a hostile city. One of the reasons the city is hostile is due to the collateral damage caused by the flying robots. The pilots must work to save each other even though one is supposedly a less seasoned soldier.



About at the point the story is heading in an interesting direction, it just ends. Right at 96 pages. I'm hoping this is volume 1 because it felt like there was more potential story. The art by Bengal is good, though I liked the work in Naja a bit more. Some of the panels are a little hard to decipher, but the art is clean and crisp and interesting to look at.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors, Magnetic Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
