An alien abduction story based on a true story, a scenario that I can definitely say intrigued me! This graphic novel had some elements that I enjoyed: I liked the realism of the police/hospital in the way they deal with anything they do not understand, I liked the memories we get from Oliver from his time with the aliens, and the way they interact with each other. I also really liked the part of this graphic novel where Oliver is with his mother again. The problem with this is that it does not allow time to focus on anything in the story, and just rushes, rushes, and rushes. Everything seems to be explored very briefly, giving no depth to any of the characters, the things happening in the story etc. I feel like this could have been so much more.
Midnight Vista's contrast-filled art and intriguing premise sounded ripe to be the type of story to pull me in, and - for the most part - it kept me reading. However, I generally struggled to follow along, and in the end, the way the tale was executed felt largely incomplete, with many unanswered questions.
