Concrete Park, Vol. 2 R-E-S-P-E-C-T by Tony Puryear

​Yeah, no. Still didn’t work. And making the thing twice as long didn’t do the trick either, surprise surprise. It still seems that the book’s creators are too busy juggling too many things and trying to be as hip as possible instead of concentrating on telling a compelling engaging story.
A lot of the right ingredients are here, but they don’t come together the way they ought to. Even though another awesome song is in the title. Even though the colors are so bright, and the science fiction aspect is so intriguing.
Turns out having your major credits as an average old blockbuster and whatever Living Single is don’t make the pair an ideal graphic novel team. The effort is definitely there, it just falls short. When the book’s best feature is its glossary…
You know what this would work as? A tv series. Young, hip, lots of minority representation. It would be grand. All the subplots can be properly done in a drawn out tv format. So maybe these books can work as a pitch for that. Otherwise…pass.
