Meat Eaters by Meredith McClaren

 


 

 

From cartoonist Meredith McClaren, Meat Eaters is an awesome graphic novel about the monsters lurking beyond and within us all. 

It was my first graphic novel in years so I struggled a bit to follow the plot at first, but as soon as i get started, it was so good !
 
The illustrations  and the comic strips in general, are top notch and the whole book is a gem. I came for the cover, literally hooked by the aesthetic and I didn't regret it. 

I like the "behind the scene" bonuses at the end of the comic, it gives more insights about Meredith's creative process and how Meat Eaters was born. 

My favorite part is definitely the unexpected bond between the three mains characters, despite their differences,  the acceptance and need for bonds and support you can feel between them. I really like the messages that Meredith tried to convey. And she managed it well on a pretty fast pace settlement. 

I really rooted for Ashley and I loved some of the "internal monologue" she has with herself when she tried to understand what happened to her and what she became. 

I'll definitely keep an eye to Meredith work for more content. And I totally recommend to read this comics, you won't regret it, my fellow horror nerds.
