review:
'Of Dust & Blood: The Battle at Little Big Horn' by Jim Berry with art by Val Mayerick is a retelling of a famous historical event.
The famous story is told from two points of view that are both fictional as far as I can tell. Both are foot soldiers on each side of the conflict. One is on Custer's side and one on Sitting Bull's. We see the building conflict, then the massacre through their eyes.
It tries to not offend anyone, and manages to be vague in it's approach. It doesn't really give us much of anything, and I'm not sure anyone not familiar with the history would really learn much of anything.
Still the art was good throughout and it helps to elevate a story that I found just mediocre.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from NBM Publishing, papercutz.com, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
