The Green Turtle was a Golden Age character created during World War 2 by American/Chinese comics creator Chu Hing for Blazing Comics. I will definitely pick up more of Gene Luen Yang's work in the future. The art was beautiful and evolved throughout the story. Over all I really enjoyed the quirkiness of the art and how it complimented the story.Īll in all I really enjoyed this graphic novel. There are a couple of flashback scenes that are colored similar to sepia (dull browns and tans). There are lots of strong lines and bright colors throughout the story.
Superhero's family member dies, must be avenged. Superhero goes through training with a family friend that just so happens to be a master in. Superhero gets caught up in how beautiful the villains daughter is, instead of actually killing the villain. It also helped that the main character was loyal to his family and everything he ever did was for his mothers happiness. It followed the young boy from a less than ideal upbringing decides to avenge his families honor route and it worked, just like every other superhero. This graphic novel was just like an old school comic. Everything from DC to Marvel, if it has a superhero and a villain involved I will watch, read, listen, binge it. And boy did it live up to all of my expectations. The art, humor, and over all story was really unique so naturally I expected as much from The Shadow Hero. So, when I saw The Shadow Hero at my local library I had to pick it up. The first graphic novel that I ever read was American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang himself. She wants him to embody the excitement of their new country. Hank wants nothing more than to work in his family’s grocery store, but his mother has more ambitious plans. It's pure fun and so different from what we expect. It's a great story and I love the characters and the story. That sounds interesting and I'm so glad that Gene resurrected this story for all of us to see.
The publisher didn't want him to be Chinese, so the artist never showed his face. Gene said this was based on a comic strip from the 1940s that was actually Chinese. He has to take down a gang that is doing real harm to the people in Chinatown. The Green Turtle does get some super powers from an ancient guardian spirit of China. I loved the fictional setting and the whole thing starts because this crazy kids mother wants him to be a super hero, so she sorta sews a costumes, gives him some fighting lessons and sends him out in the world. I want this to be made into a movie! Yes, please.
Come on First Second, let's see some more and 2.
