This book tells the story of several women.

The art is very peculiar and, combined with the gore, becomes chillingly harmonic.

The story is composed of several stories, each belonging to different women, every single one of them featuring violence.

Overall, this is a rather short comic book that features the problems women have to deal with.

Rating: 4 stars

This one is so gorgeous!!! I love the images, the story is really rich and the way is treat is just so sutil and expresive!

A short comic about young girls disappearing. The story isn't very clear and the art was muddy in some panels. A young girl finds a bunch of keepsakes I guess from missing girls which she turns into a necklace. Then she gets attacked and must escape. Honestly, I think it's gotten higher ratings than it deserves based on its subject manner versus its merits of being a good story or not.

I admit I’m a little on the fence with this story. I absolutely love the premise, it’s something I hope to read more about in the future. When I sat down to read this however, I was a little lost. I don’t connect with any specific character and often had a difficult time figuring out exactly what was happening through the artwork.

Even though it was a little confusing at times I really enjoyed the artistic style. It has a dark and gritty tone that lends itself well to the topic of Indigenous women who have gone missing. I know very little about this culture so some of the symbolism was lost on me through the story itself. My favorite part actually comes after in the form of notes that explain these symbols that are found throughout the narration. Having read this information I went back and re-read the story again with a whole new appreciation. I have to wonder if this addition would benefit readers like me more if it were found at the beginning of the story rather than at the end.

Overall, I was left wanting a little more. I loved the artwork but wanted more story than this graphic novel contained. I still recommend it to anyone interested in this topic or those who appreciate the style of artwork.

Will I See? is a comic book about a girl that goes around town and finds keepsakes as she goes. Each keepsake has a story that she sees in front of her.
It is a very violent novel. The art is beautiful and I loved the combination of black and white with the red blood.
It is quite short and has almost no text, the story is told mainly by the images. The plot is simple but enjoyable.
It was a very intense comic book but I liked it and I'm glad I picked it up.

This book is so powerful. I almost wish it were longer, because it's so short--but really, how could anyone handle that? My heart beat so fast reading it, the fight or flight response almost kicking in, because my reaction to this was so visceral.

The premise of this graphic novel is that a teenage girl, May, is being led by a stray cat to find unique and meaningful trinkets along her walk home. At her house, her grandmother helps her to make a necklace of her findings. Unknown to her, the found items are from other Indigenous girls and women who have been kidnapped and probably murdered. Some dark forces are at work, but when May encounters her own trial with the darkness, she finds strength from her necklace and the items' previous owners.

David Alexander Robertson got his point across. He wanted to bring attention to Indigenous girls and women going missing in Canada, and boy, did he! I will be looking up information on this happening and doing anything I can from here. And GMB Chomichuk's illustrations are so incredibly affecting! I was terrified a portion of the time reading this because the combination of words and illustrations was so strong, and I just had to focus on something else for a minute. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes graphic novels that are gritty, nonfiction, or emotional. Or to everyone, because it's that good!

'Will I See?' by David Alexander Robertson with art by GMB Chomichuk was a surreal read, and I liked it. I'm still not entirely sure what the title means though.

A young girl named May wanders the streets. She finds odd bits of things and takes them home to her grandmother, along with a stray cat that follows her home. Her grandmother makes the items into a kind of necklace. It seems that the items May has found are soemtimes born out of violence, and when May next travels out into the world, she will have to call on primal forces for protection. There is danger and May is prey. Can she find safety?

The art is mostly black and white and grey with distinct areas of red. The pictures are mostly silhouette and shadow and the panels have interesting writng and runes on them. The story feels a bit fragmented, but it works really well. Included at the end are explanations of the spirit animals that show up to help May. I'm not sure I would have read this if I'd seen it on the shelf, but I gave it a chance since I got a review copy and I'm glad I got to read it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Portage & Main Press, HighWater Press, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
