review:
'Dragonfly and Dragonflyman: Volume One' by Tom Peyer with art by Peter Krause, Russ Braun, and Jamal Igle continues the adventures of similar heroes in Earth-Alpha and Earth-Omega.
Earth-Omega has gritty, dark Dragonfly, while lighter, nostalgic Earth-Alpha has Dragonflyman. In a series of similar stories, we see how each interacts with their world, as well as their young sidekicks. In Earth-Alpha, Dragonfly man is hypnotized and becomes a pacifist. In Earth-Omega, Dragonflyman has a trust issue when his sidekick, Stinger, finds out that he's being tracked.
I really like this series. There are some nice tongue-in-cheek pokes at comics and it's interesting to see these parallel world heroes dealing with things in their own ways. The art shifts nicely between light and dark, and I like the throwback style art for Earth-Alpha.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Ahoy Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
