Enjoy! ( )

There are some fantasy trappings, but at heart this is the story of a boy running away from his abusive father to join a carnival. That creaky old trope doesn't much interest me, even if you throw in some "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" Hulk-outs. And too much of the world, the magic, and the characters is left unexplained for me to care about coming back. ( )

This is an interesting look at a world not quite like ours but is somewhat different and a boy whose father has a terrible temper. Things come to a head and Abel runs away from home to find answers to complex questions while a storm that knows his name follows him. Done in quite a European (Spain/France/Belgian) Comics style (Jorge Corona is from Venezuela) it's an interesting twist on some of the stories about family that I've read.

Recommended. Borrowed from Dublin Public Libraries. ( )
