This is the first graphic novel I've read, and I'm not convinced they are for me. I found the conversation to be quite clunky in its efforts to be casual but also drive a storyline. The graphics were good, but I need to learn which speech bubble to read first when there are many in a picture.

I'm not really a fan of graphic novels, but this one, with its mystery element, has me curious. It's been BOTD before (exactly 1 year ago today), so I think I'll read it.

The graphic novel genre serves as the ideal stage. Olmos's dark visuals give the impression of the truth buried under dirt. The combination of sharp lines and hard shadows reveals a fear within each of the character's eyes. Congrats on #BOTD!

Even with old friendship, there will be a handful of unsaid dots; we may know the person but never really see them. This conflict between knowing something and, at the same time, knowing nothing for sure eventually sets the mood. Congrats on #BOTD!

I read through the sample not long ago and I completely agree with your review! The dark visuals made everything more intense and intriguing. The way the graphics conveyed the story nothing short of brilliant. I also agree that Jonah was quite the upstanding friend. Thanks for the compelling review.

Comics appealed to me once upon a time but as I am older now, it does not. So this is a pass for me. Never the less, the review was very appealing. Thank you.

It looks like an interesting comic book that showcases how important friendships are and how they can impact a person's experience. However, I will skip it for now. Thank you for your review!

"Sonora Pass" by Jaime Olmos, illustrated by Kevin Nichols, is a comic book that explores themes of friendship and life's fleeting nature. Through the intertwined lives of Esteban, Rachel, Jonah, and others, the narrative unfolds with love, crime, and mystery. With engaging plot twists and commendable graphics, it's a captivating read deserving of 5 out of 5 stars. This is a very informative and honest review. Thank you.
