Background
Published on May 18, 2021, “Dark One” is a fantasy graphic novel that follows Paul Tanasin, an 18-year-old haunted by visions of a world called Mirandus. Initially dismissing these visions as hallucinations, Paul discovers they are prophecies foretelling his destiny as the “Dark One,” a figure destined to shatter Mirandus. As he grapples with his role, Paul confronts themes of predestination and the duality of being both a savior and a destroyer.
My Thoughts
I’m not generally a fan of graphic novels. I loved the X-Men and still couldn’t get into the comics about them.
This one wasn’t bad but I’m used to a lot more narrative. I thought the art was good, but still I’d rather use my imagination to detail the story.
The door is wide open for Sanderson to continue the story.
Recommendation
I’d wait till he is done before reading it. It went pretty quick.
