Reason for Dragons
Reason for Dragons | Chris Northrop
2 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
Wendell is a high school outcast who lives a lonely, suburban existence, losing himself in books in order to avoid his distant, motorcycle-riding stepfather, Ted. When the school bullies convince Wendell to venture into the forest around their neighborhood and explore the long-abandoned Renaissance Faire grounds they all believe to be haunted, Wendell is surprised to find a man living in the barn and even more surprised by the man himself. His new acquaintance seems the definition of crackpot, believing himself to be a medieval knight named Sir Habersham, tasked with the duty of slaying the dragon he insists is wandering the woods. But when Wendell starts hearing rumblings and listening to Habersham's stories he starts to wonder if, perhaps, it could all be true. In a heartfelt coming-of age story, Wendell must defy logic in order to follow his heart."

#ReindeerReads #PeculiarCharacter

A boy running from his loser life encounters a stranger in the woods (our peculiar character) who claims that he is a knight.

This is a one shot graphic novel that has all the feels. I loved the story - it touches on coming of age, mental health issues, and heroism.

So good. The art is crisp and the colors pop. A perfect example of why I love #comics.
