Critics Review
“A mystery that keeps the reader guessing right up until the end.” -CBC Books”Without hyperbole, Norm Konyu’s THE JUNCTION is probably my favorite graphic novel. Gorgeous in every way, it is hallucinatory, moving, and always mesmerizing. A free fall through Grace, Sorrow and Remembrance, what a joy it is to see Mr. Konyu - and his hero, Lucas - pay Humans, Love and Life the aching, hysterical and heartfelt respect they deserve. Bravo” - Jordan Roberts (Writer of Big Hero 6, March of the Penguins)“…an utterly compelling read from first page to last … if we read a better book than this in 2020, then it will have to be something really special.” - Pipedream Comics”This is an outstanding graphic novel, an essential book to acquire, and a remarkable debut from a truly skilled storyteller.” -Broken Frontier”Utterly, utterly stunning… so intriguing, a complete page turner. You’d be mad to miss out on The Junction.” - Tom Stewart (COMIC ART FESTIVAL PODCAST)“A heartfelt, engaging & fantastical story at its core that quickly shows you that it has the beating heart of a classic. 10⁄10” - Comics Anonymous”Norm Konyu could have not written a better piece of work for his debut as a graphic novelist.” - A Place To Hang Your Cape”A classic and creepy fairy tale albeit set in the modern(ish) world… I was drawn into this book totally.” - Never Iron Anything!“This is a whole new level of storytelling.” - The Valkyries Online
