![]() ![]() However, the delivery of this thin plot is left even more anemic with the art. The plot is a little simplistic – girl in trouble with a stalker, Odd saves her and puts the guy in jail. ![]() I can’t decide whether the Odd books are YA, though based on this graphic novel, it feels like one. The premise is interesting – he’s something of a male “Ghost Whisperer” with an edge and a spatula. I have never read any of Koontz’s Odd Thomas books. With this first Odd Thomas graphic novel, I can see aspirations, but I’m not sure if the delivery is there. What I’m saying is I don’t need much plot to enjoy a good comic strip or cartoon if the art is good. When the drawing is done well, a good story is a bonus to me – I’m just there to soak up the images. These “new” images (what I believe stem originally from ukiyo’e) can be mind-bogglingly beautiful images. It stems mostly from my almost slavish appreciation for good art. I have a deep and abiding love of graphic novels, manga, and anime.
