I like read books, some of them like the Necro-nomicon and Dracula
has and interesting plot. Some of them can show the distant past, when they
were written, so it is hard to decide what is the best of all, all are good in their
own way… but if I can consider a graphic book like a book, It is more easy
choose one, because I love the combination of an illustration and a story, it
interesting to see.
If I need to choose one of all, including the graphic
novels, I choose Jojo´s bizarre adventure: steel ball run, because has an
original concept and has a good character development, all of them have their
motives, so no one can be consider like an evil person, this book is consider
one of the best of his genre.
The plot of this book, is literally “a cowboy’s race organized
by the president of EEUU. To search the parts of Jesus body”… yeah, it sounds
ridiculous, but the concept was well executed, the protagonist, Johnny Joestar,
after an incident, it becomes paraplegic, so he participate in the race to
collect the Jesus body to recover his legs, because someone say that the Jesus
body can make your dreams true, however the president of united states wants
the Jesus parts too, to protect his country of wars, poverty, all the things
that are bad, although the cost will be that the bad things will occur in other
parts of the world. So the president sent his minions to defeat Johnny, Johnny
makes a friend in the race, Gyro, who want to win the race to save a child who
will be executed, so the two make a team to complete their objectives.
I finished it the past week, I recommend it because has an
interesting plot, the character are good designed, their past are adjusted with
their goals, it has occidental musical references like love train of The O'Jays or dirty deeds done dirt cheap of AC/DC. 10/10
If you finish it, I recommend continue with Jojolion, the
new part of Jojo, it is not finished, but for now it is in the same level of
steel ball run, and it can be better.
