Stefan ThöniI just can't stand #boardgame designers putting these blasted #victorypoint almost every new game.
Or have you ever seen a fascinating story where the heroes and villains in the final scene sum up their score?
TheEdinburghBookshopAnd here are three very different fictional tales: French maestro Jacques Tardi adapts Leo Malet's hard-boiled crime Noir, Paul B Rainey's Why Don't You Love Me is a fascinating, slow burn reveal, Owen D Pomery's Victory Point uses architecture as much as characters..
Basically, what we're saying is graphic novels are as diverse in terms of style and subject as prose works, so if you are dipping your toe, think about the sort of thing you normally prefer. Fantasy? Horror? Biography? Reportage? It's all there...

The Hard Switch & Victory Point by Owen D Pomery take us, respectively, from blue-collar space opera (ideal for fans of Firefly or Becky Chambers) to family relationships & Modernist architecture.
Very different but both highly recommended, published by the excellent UK Indie publisher Avery Hill.

Mistigris computer arts, est. 1994Mistigram: #OwenPomery’s #VictoryPoint is a graphic novel, and consequently falls a little outside the scope of our recent fine art-themed MIST0424 artpack, but this monochrome #teletext adaptation of its landscape cover art by Jellica Jake wound up being folded into the collection regardless.

LordWoolamalooJust backed @odpomery 's The Hard Switch from @averyhillpubl
Owen's previous graphic novel, Victory Point, was one of my favourite books of 2020 (reviewed here) https://www.woolamaloo.org.uk/reviews-victory-point/
