review 1: In a time where fast-paced epidemiological thrillers will jump in popularity, The Homeland Directive does an excellent job of fitting the bill. As only a casual graphic novel reader can rave, the color scheme and frames were of captivating composition. I really enjoyed the vibrant colors and clean lines of the layout, and the difference of styles (between presidential conversations and action scenes) was neat. If you're looking for a government thriller with medical and technological overtones but don't want to read a Preston novel, check this one out!
review 2: This book is an interesting take on your typical outbreak themed story with a built in conspiracy. It is a fast paced thrilled that was likable but missing something that would make it truly memorable. ... moreThe art is inconsistent, though excellent at times. This is a serious book where the good doctor is on the run from killers in pursuit; therefore, when the art takes a turn to the more cartoon-esq style, it feels out of place and distracts from the story. In fact, it sometimes feels like it is searching for its true identity. There was also a point were the bad guy and one of the good guys looked almost indistinguishable and I had to review the panels several times to understood exactly who was shot. Despite my gripes, I did enjoy reading this book and the final ending is satisfying. less
