The Amory Wars (Graphic Novel)

For my graphic Novel I read the Amory Wars: Second Stage Turbine Blade. This is a graphic novel that's labelled as young adult literature. It is written by Claudio Sanchez who plays guitar and sings in the band Coheed and Cambria. The bands music narrates the graphic novels that Sanchez writes which is very interesting. Although I really enjoyed the novel I would definitely not consider it young adult literature. Its extremely dark, extremely violent, and full of foul language. I personally really liked it but as a teacher I don't think its necessarily something that would be appropriate in a school setting. Looking past the inappropriate content, however, the story is really great. The book follows a man and his wife in a futuristic scifi setting who learn that they have super human abilities and are captured by the lead antagonist so he can manipulate these powers to take over the known universe. As you can imagine there is a lot of action that really keeps the book exciting and there are also very interesting  character interactions. Overall I highly recommend this graphic novel to people in high school or older but would definitely not recommend it for anyone much younger than that as it does contain very mature content.
