Orphan Black: Helsinki - Graeme Manson (and others) - 3*

[Elise]

In the universe of Orphan Black, Helsinki is spoken in hushed tones, a simple word hiding a probably horrific event, but it’s never explained in the show. So when I saw this graphic novel, of course I jumped on it.

It was great to learn all sorts of things about the show. The aforementioned Helsinki, of course, but also how Helena got onto Katja, the birth of Charlotte, the start of the “relationship” between Rachel and Ferdinand...

And following the last paragraph you probably got that this is not a graphic novel to read if you’re not already familiar with the Clone Club, lol.

I’m not a big reader of graphic novels so I have no idea if this one was any good technically (like the narration, dialogues, etc.), but for an Orphan Black fan it was a good read and answered a few questions quite nicely.

Loved the show!
