COGREVIEW — NEON NOIR

“Hey, that’s actually pretty cool.”

This was my first reaction to “Neon Noir” by Johnathon O.Lyon and Michael Kennedy. Though both authors are inexperienced, this 10-page comic book looks solid - both cleverly written and excellently drawn. Since it is made on a professional level, it deserves not just a simple praise, but a complete review as well.

Spoilers ahead! You've been warned.

Multimedia products, such as movies, books, comics, are desperate for public’s attention and with each year acquire new features. 3D-movies and animated comics are results of technological progress, but, at the same time, serve as representations of authors’ inability to deliver information within traditional formats. And these products require to put into use new senses to perceive the material.

Hawkeye #19 steps into another direction and invests into the idea of comics visual comprehension only. Sadly, there are people, which are stripped off the opportunity to sense audio-content, therefore, books and comics become the most convenient format for their data collection.
