This is a seven-part graphic novel depicting the life of Mohammed. The series, based almost entirely on the original and earliest sources of Islam, has been released and is now available in seven full-color volumes. Mohammed, if real, is said to have lived between 570 and 632 AD. It is hoped that with the seven books in this series, readers will gain a greater understanding of Mohammed the man, his legacy, his actions, and his impact on the world.
This comic book had a lot of potential which it didn’t use, but of course I will explain everything in this review. So if you are interested in reading about my thoughts and opinions about this comic book then keep reading.
This comic book tries to tackle complex socio-political themes with provocative intent, but they way it is presented to us as readers I gotta admit that it falls short due to its heavy-handed tone and lack of nuanced argumentation.
The writing style in this comic book is unapologetic and confrontational, aiming to challenge prevailing narratives and provoke debate. Which was the main reason why I gave this comic book 2 stars instead of 1 because in a way I liked the writing style in this comic book.
The tone of this comic book often feels accusatory and dismissive rather than analytical. Which really annoyed me in a way because of how dismissive this comic book sounded even thou I’m a huge atheist.
The arguments this comic book tries to give us are presented to us are sweeping and lack depth.
This comic book’s structure feels disjointed, with abrupt jumps between ideas without clear development or context, making it hard to follow or engage meaningfully.
The artwork in this comic book is very minimal. Which doesn’t give a lot to talk about when it comes to the artwork in this comic book.
The artwork doesn’t support or enhance the provocative themes, which makes the reading feel dry and uninviting.
I Give This Book 2 / 5
