Review 1 Danyal Kiani

The graphic novel is called the Silent Co-mix, created by Robby Charter. He is also the publisher and the artist of Silent Co-mix. The novel was published on September 24, 2011 and is written in English. The link to access the graphic novel online is:  http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/91351.

The novel is divided into episodes instead by chapters. Each episode in the novel is given a title. The structure of the book is very simple and not very detailed. The entire book contains a total of 56 pages in which the entire story is told. So, compared to other novels this novel is quite short and very simple.

This novel is very simple and ordinary. It has no colour effects or words to show what is going on in this novel. There are many panels on each page of the novel. From the panels, it shows that there is time space between them and that space is not revealed in the novel. Each panel reflects a different image from the other. In this novel, the creator of the novel Robby Charter has done his work by just simply drawing out pictures and putting emotions within them to reveal the story to the audience. The drawing is very simple and not very detailed. It looks like just a rough draft made to show as an example. This novel illustrates the message of the story through pictures and emotions. In order to know what the novel is telling, Robby Charter makes lots of panels and draws pictures and gives a heading for each chapter to give a reference of what each chapter in the book will talk about. He breaks his book into episodes which contains only a maximum of 10-11 pages. The visuals in the novels are very ordinary looking and formatting of the scenes is very different from novels with very concise and detailed structured drawings, visuals, and effects. Each heading of each chapter gives a brief idea of what is going to happen. The heading of each chapter also reveals the plot and the message in the novel which the author is trying to reveal to the audience.

Overall, the entire novel is very great and very interesting to read by reading the heading of the chapters and by just visually analysing the pictures in each panel. The entire novel has a great structure and very original from the latest graphic novels and illustrates the entire story through headings of the chapters and visually through pictures and emotions.
