review:
'Incredible Doom' by Matthew Bogart and Jesse Holden is a graphic novel from a particular era, and one that I miss.

This story takes place in the era of the BBS or computer bulletin board. The two stories, which link, involve an a girl named Allison who is abused by her stage magician father, and a young man named Richard, who is new in town and gets invited to connect to a BBS called Evol BBS. The connection between these two and their different stories involves computers and the link that strangers can make online.

I loved the lonely vibe of this story. The sparse locations, the loneliness of hiding a terrible secret or being the new kid. The art reflects this quite well, and I loved all the throwback references to the BBS days of the internet. Well done!

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from HarperCollins Children's Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
