As someone who's just getting started with Kurt Vonnegut, I knew that Slaughterhouse-Five is a must a some point. Seeing the comic that's about to come out, I knew I'd be very much interested to see how Vonnegut and graphic novels mash up.
On the writing front, we see a great representation not only of the story itself, but also Vonnegut's witty writing and dark humour. I really enjoyed reading, as it was as captivating as the books from him that I've read.
I do think however that the art in this title is very important to note - it's beautiful and ugly at the same time, just as the story itself. It captures well the theme, atmosphere and overall feeling so graciously, you can almost imagine Kurt Vonnegut being personally involved in the drawing process. The style and colour palettes match up fantastically, sucking you right into the story.
I wholeheartedly recommend the book to both long-time fans and to people that have yet to read anything from Vonnegut.

*Thanks to NetGalley and BOOM! Studios for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review.*
