review:
'Gaia Blues' with script and art by Gud is a wordless story about the troubles the Earth is going through.

Starting with a man on a boat, the frames pull out to reveal other parts of the story. A polar bear family sits on a melting ice berg. A ship sinks and leaves an oil spill. Smog pollutes and kills trees. A man throws away a plastic bottle and it joins thousands more in a floating island of trash. Is there any hope for Gaia or will she be blue?

I like the idea of this graphic novel. The wordless story makes the message easy to grasp. I didn't like the solution at the end. It seemed like a way of further creating pollution. I can see the author didn't want the book to be a total downer, but there was probably a different way to end things. I did like the colorful simple illustrations.

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.
