review:
'Relay Vol. 1: by Zac Thompson and Donny Cates with art by Andy clarke and Ryan Bodenheim is a graphic novel with kind of a hard science fiction premise.

The graphic novel starts with a monolith known as the Galactic Relay arriving on a planet and a man named Hank Donaldson who is sent to colonize and homogenize worlds. A man named Jad Carter is an employee of Relay and his job is to quell dissension. He becomes curious about his job, his world, and who Hank Donaldson is. This sends him on a journey that turns out to be weirder than expected.

Is monoculture a good idea at the expense of others or do we benefit from diverse paths of growth? What really makes a legend and is it something we should never question?

These are some of the questions raised by the book, and while it doesn't necessarily answer them, I think it's more interesting that they get raised for the reader to think about.

The art works well. The characters and story are interesting. I liked this one.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
