This just wasn't for me. I thought I was in my cool graphic novel ere, but sadly no. I didn't really like the art style and the story wasn't enough to keep me entertained. So sad though but I had to dnf (did not finish) it.

Thank you NetGalley/publishers for the arc in exchange for my honest review.
I picked up this book because of its unique and intriguing art style. The story was equally intriguing. The story moved so smoothly. It kept me turning page after page. I am very excited to see where the story goes next.

I am fairly new to graphic novels and after this I cannot wait to read more.

The art in Blink was 10/10 and the horror was top tier. I can’t wait to see where this series is going.

The artwork was stunning, the premise original, and the story terrifying. I read through this in one day. It’s a crazy ride but I really enjoyed it. Some points were a little harder to understand but I think the artwork provided context and it became clearer as I followed the story

This graphic novel blew my socks off and warped them into another dimension through my security camera! My one small gripe with this book (occasional cheesy dialogue) is through no fault of the writer. This small blemish on an otherwise entirely unique concept is a symptom of the comic book/graphic novel medium. The art design, coloring, layout, and pacing of the panels were put together so well and made the story really cohesive and enjoyable for the whole journey!

This one was a bit more weird than I was prepared to handle. I applaud the complexity of both plot and panel design.

Thanks to NetGalley and Oni Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Blink's creative visuals are worth checking out and I wish it had been a little longer so characters and themes could have been introduced better and the story could have progressed more naturally.

This was pretty cool, I quite enjoyed this one. I just think and hope that it was more than what it was.

Thank you Netgalley, publisher, and author for granting me an e-ARC for this book.

I request this book purely because of the cover. I enjoy reading it, the art is great but that's it. I'm not too immersed with the story. It's kinda all over the place and not sure what will happened/what is going on.

The art in this was killer. I'm very picky about graphic novels, and I want a physical copy of this for my collection.

Wren Booker was three when she was found alone and covered in blood on the streets of New York. Since that day, she’s been haunted by the childhood she can't remember…until decades later when she finds a cryptic website streaming multiple CCT feeds from strange rooms in a ruined building. Something clicks, setting off hidden memories that lead her back to a place she’s seen in lifelong nightmares. Hunting for answers, Wren breaks in and finds herself lost in the camera-filled dark mazes of a decayed social experiment known only as Blink.

This is a creative and original story, but ultimately some parts were hard to follow and felt rushed or not fully fleshed out.

I'm sorry, I couldn't force myself to finish this. It lost me in the middle. There's only so much information you can withdraw without losing your reader for good.

Loved the drawings and the colors at first, but it became repetitive at some point arund the 40% of the book, and the story itself became a little circular (ha! I know, it's kinda a labyrinth, but still).

Sorry. Usually the bright pinks and purples and yellows do it for me, but this comic lost me enterily.

I wont be giving it stars on Goodreads since I don't rate books I don't finish. But it probably would be a 2/5. It's not BAD it just... needs some editing, maybe?

This graphic novel had a cool premise and setting but unfortunately the execution was just not great. Extremely fast-paced and confusing (both in story and art since the pages are all extremely crowded). It's hard to follow and connect with the character and honestly couldn't tell you what the point of any of it was. Wouldn't recommend.

I really loved the concept of this graphic novel, but overall it ended up just not really being for me. It went in a completely different direction than I expected/wanted so I ended up not finishing this read (fell out of reading it about half way through).

The art is beautiful though, and I think this story definitely has an audience out there. It just unfortunately does not include me.

Thank you for providing this ARC and giving me the opportunity to read this.

I can't really review this one properly, because I didn't quite understand it. I thought it a bit too messy to read and I couldn't keep my focus on it. Honestly, it just wasn't a good fit and I can't say much about it. Will give stars here, but not on Goodreads.

I gave this a four out of five stars. I really enjoyed this graphic novel, I love the art so much it was great. I’d love to see it in a physical copy. I like the story as well, Wren was trying to figure out what happened in the past and what happened to her parents.

This was interesting and a really unique concept but I wasn’t entirely sold. So much happened in a short period of time without full explanation and I just didn’t vibe with it

I accessed a digital review copy of this book from the publisher.
Wren has been invested in finding out what happened in her past, one that she can't remember before she was three. A lead brings her to a group of abandoned buildings filled with secrets and cameras.
The premise of the story was interesting, but the execution did not live up to what I had hoped. The storyline had promise, but it felt like the story just faded the longer it went on.

A fast paced and intense horror/scifi graphic novel with great illustrations. This would adapt well to film!
