I do not buy the love sub-plot. I really don't.

[Suba Wijesinghe]

Story was good. Illustrations and images were Superb! The texts were clear and easy to read.

[Richard Dominguez]

This was fantastic comic about a carnival of souls and the boy who comes across it. The story is repeated 3 times each from a different point of view. It also includes an origin story of the ringmaster "The Clown".
The art work is fabulous and the coloring vibrant and makes the art pop right off the page.

[Jessica]

Nice graphics. Story is engaging but hard to follow. I liked this.

A young boy and his mother go to the Carnival in New York, but they are not able to stay long before they have to catch a flight. Unfortunately that flight doesn’t reach its destination. The young boy, Jazan, is forced to grow up in the wilds of Africa with only two tiger cubs as his brothers.

This story tells of his beginning and his eventual capture and inclusion in the Carnival that he visited as a kid.

This is another comic series by Jazan Wild, this one stars Jazan Wild as a young boy and then young man, savage and wild. The writing is kinda corny/cheesy but not overbearingly so. The artistry is very good and detailed.

This comic has DRM on Amazon, but is available DRM Free on Google Play.

Carnival of Souls is a comic graphic novel about a child who is the only survivor of a plane crash. Little does he know, thats not the only way his life was about to change.

I thought Novel 1 was written and illustrated very well.

Would recommend

SUPER GOOD COMIC WITH FANTASTIC ART AND WRITING. I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CARNIVAL!

[Joseph Santiago]

The strange life of a carnival is revealed to have supernatural ties from a connection made to an old God. While the concept of this book was good I felt that the author felt amusement in creating the characters. There wasn't enough draw for me here. Some characters had great back stories and side stories,but the tale that tyed them together was tired one. I liked the work as a whole but had trouble getting to feel for characters.It was an okay read.

a boy at the carnival wants to join. clown tells him to come back in fifteen years. plane crashes and tiger cubs take him in as a brother when their mother is killed. the carnival claims him years later. welcome to the show.

[Peacegal]

This is a strange graphic novel...and you get the feeling you've read it all before somewhere.

[Louise]

Maybe you have to be a graphic novel enthusiast to enjoy this. To me, it seemed disjointed and hard to follow.

[Tyler Marino]

Somewhat neat story, but you end up wanting more and it doesn't deliver.

[Sherry L.]

Loved it! Good behind the scenes look at the creation of the graphic books in the series.

[Abril]
