review:
'Gregory Graves Vol. 1: Kill Your Idols' by Dan Harmon and Eric Esquivel with art by Brent Schoonover, Ted Naifeh, Paul Mounts and Rebecca Nalty tells a variation of a familiar story to comic book fans.

Supervillain Gregory Graves is in deep lockup along with other supervillains. A famous reporter is granted an interview. During the interview, we learn the origins of Gregory as well as the strange hero from another planet, Luminary. Gregory Graves knows some things about Luminary, like his secret identity, and how he might actually be a threat. Could the man the world fears the most, be it's greatest hero?

It's a variant of the Superman/Lex Luthor matchup with Lex possibly being the one who is right. It tries to be funny at times, and that feels like it falls flat. The art was mediocre and didn't impress me. I do like what they tried to do with this though.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Starburns Industries Press, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
