review:
'Skin & Earth' with story and art by Lights is a graphic novel with a tie in to a concept album by the same creator.

A young woman named Enaia Jin, or En for short, lives in a divided city where no one really has hope. The only difference is that the rich might live slightly longer. She has a brief affair with a guy who makes her take a tattoo. She later finds out the tattoo has marked her as a sort of sacrifice, but En isn't one to just let fate happen.

I liked this clever project. The chapters begin with a QR code and a song on the companion album to listen to. The story is a bit overdramatic for my tastes, but fits better with the album I think. The art is not the best I've ever seen but not a bad effort for someone who admits to learning the whole process.

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