Graphic Novel Spotlight - The Well

 

The Well by Jake Wyatt

In this book Wyatt has presented us with a unique concept. The set-up is actually fairly familiar if you read much fantasy - a group of isolated islands, largely held captive by a monster. But we don't jump directly into the secrets that lead to the situation. Instead our protagonist gets involved with wishes, with the magic at the core of the area. Through an impending curse she, and thus the reader, learns about fleeting, destructive, or selfish all consuming nature of wishes. The story is equal parts reflective and action oriented, perfectly suited to the graphic novel format.
