The Order: Die Mensch Maschine by Kek-wMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm old.
I do not understand graphic novels sometimes. And comic books.
Sometimes.
I loved most of this graphic novel, but I swear I kept looking to see if I had skipped some pages or something. I understood what was happening, and then I didn't. Who are these people? Why do they seem to know each other? What is happening now? Is that the same guy as that... wait, no, they're both on the same page now... What's going on with time?
Anyway, I'm old. I guess that's the problem.
There's a really cool story here and some amazing art. Some great characters, too. I think I'd like to read it as a novel. Or have it expanded into many, many more pages of sequential art. A bit more exposition to help me understand how we went from here to there.
Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna re-read it and see if I can get in the flow the second time. And I'm gonna do a better web search to see if there are prequels and sequels. (Couldn't find any the first time around.) Meantime, you should take a look if you like creepy medieval and renaissance fantasy with lots of action. It's cool.
