review:
'Rage' with art and story by Baru is a graphic novel about a guy in a working class neighborhood who makes the big time.

Anton Witkowski, nicknamed Witko, grew up in the projects in Europe. He wants out and he wants money. The way out for Witko is through boxing, but that's not what his dad wants for him. Witko does it anyway. This story is about his rise to fame and the scandals that followed. There are deceitful friends and crooked promoters. Witko finally decides to come back to his old neighborhood.

The story and art are garish, but seem suited for the story. Anton is not a likeable character, but I found things I liked about him. The plot felt pretty standard up to a point, then took some interesting turns.

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.
