review:
'Noir' by Lukasz Bogacz with art by Wojciech Stefaniec is an interesting idea for a story, but the execution leaves some things to be desired.

A crime writer writes perfectly narrated stories. His personal life is messy though. Through dark art and strange narration, the story unfolds as the writer finds out his wife is unfaithful.

What he does next makes the story more interesting, but by then, it's too little, too late. The art feels a bit like photocopies that are too dark, and has a zine quality to it that I liked, but it's a bit hard to follow also. I got more interested in the latter half of the story, but the first two thirds were kind of a slog to get through. I've read a similar story told better elsewhere unfortunately.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
