review:
'One Line' with story and art by Ray Fawkes is an unusual idea that works very well as a graphic novel.

Using the 18 frames of a double page, this graphic novel follows the lives of 18 people and their families over 4 centuries, frame by frame. Each frame switches to a different person and a different perspective. We see things passed down from generation to generation. Things like honor, tradition, and even thing like prejudice. As timelines end, those panels become dark.

This was a really amazing story, and seemed to be really well planned. The art is fairly simplified, but the complexity lies in the way lives cross paths. This was a very thought provoking read.

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