Midnight Radio
Midnight Radio | Iolanda Zanfardino
5 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
An intriguingly interwoven tale of four lives changed by a mysterious late-night radio broadcast that wakes them up from their mundane existences. Each tale speaks to different social issues without pandering to a political agenda: LGBT+ rights, racism, social network addiction, and the difficult decision between settling down versus following your dreams. Each tale is told in a vivid, polychromatic illustration style that flows from one character to another and back again in a uniquely identifiable fashion.

The meh-ingist meh you ever did see, and it's my own fault. I got this one confused with a collection series of the same name, read the whole dang thing, and wondered over why the twist horror wasn't showing up. Oops.

Young adult modern social commentary isn't my preferred genre, I'm afraid, but I'd have liked this better if I hadn't read it on Hoopla -- the art and layout was not designed to view on a mobile screen. It gave me a headache.

An unplanned radio broadcast links 4 entirely unrelated stories by virtue of it playing idly in the background. The broadcast seems to have little impact in most of the stories. I like the concept, and each of the stories is fun, but I was disappointed by the way it all didn't really come together. I love the art, and the different color pallets used in each story, though.

10/63
The illustrations were pretty, and I liked how each of the 4 stories had a different color scheme. I did find the stories a tad confusing. It jumped between the 4 and none of them connected to each other. I think they were supposed to be tied to a radio station but that wasn't super clear. It was still a quick fun read anyway.

3🌟 Huh.What exactly did I just read. There appears to be no real point to this book. It starts off with a radio cast that says to look for the light inside yourself. Then the reader gets four different stories told in alternating “Chapters”. The artist has done amazing things. The way they use color to represent emotions in each story. It is for this reason only, that this graphic novel gets a 3 Stars.
