Review by: Mandy Apgar
A graphic novel based off of the epic Ramayana, where the
beautiful Sita is kidnapped by a demon and has to defend her honor to
her spouse Rama after a series of adventures - later giving birth to his
child and essentially proving her honesty years later. The retelling is
nice in that it is more so from Sita's point of view but the overall
and great problem is that the art is frankly terrible. Done by painter
Moyna Chitrakar, the figures are simplistic, lumpy, and bear none of the
dignity or grace befitting the piece. The monkey god Hanuman looks more
so like a cross between Herman Munster and a constipated dog than a
monkey. The art just looks like it was done by a child and it is so
poorly executed at times as to be very distracting.
