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

I gave this novel two stars instead of one due to its great ending.

Deftly told story and plausible enough to make it extremely scary.

Meh. Not great, not terrible. Predictable in too many ways.
