review:
'Invisible Republic Volume 1' by Gabriel Hardman and Corrinna Bechko tells a mysterious story that takes place in a far away place.
On a distant terraformed planet, a down and out reporter is looking for redemption. He stumbles across the pages of a journal that leads him to a story that took place over 40 years ago. A young girl escapes an indentured life and gets involved with a man that wants to lead a revolution. What happened to that man and the people around him remains a mystery in the reporter's era, but even more myserious is how the young girl seems to have been removed from the story of this rebel.
We don't find out what happens in this volume, but the last pages promise a more interesting second volume. It's a deliberately paced story, which might not suit readers who like their stories paced a bit faster, but I like the reflective nature of the story. The art is a bit more sketchy looking rather than more finished, but I quite like the look of the book. While I don't feel that I completely understand all the struggles going on in the book, I would like to see what happens next.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
