REVIEW: FARAGON DELIVERS LAGOS HUMOUR LIKE NEVER SEEN




AGX STUDIOS recently launched its free comedic comic to the online platform and we laughed all the way through. Read the full review below 

 INTRODUCTION 
The comic packs the humour you can imagine in an 11 page comic book. The Faragon story is about the young Solo who leave his native town for Lagos in search of greener pastures. The comic is in a narrative form as Solo guides us through his experience of coming to Lagos for the first time. The comic is written in broken and has a lot of humour. Solo gets to Lagos and he boards a bus so he can meet up with his friend. The story takes us through the humours and struggles in Lagos especially for a first timer like Solo


 PLUS 
The comic has a good story plot and is a good read for anyone who has lived in the city of Lagos. The use of the “pidgeon” English gives the comic book a uniqueness of its own and the pacing of the story makes FARAGON atrue page turner calling the reader to want more. The cliff hanger at the end of the story is also very much on point. The graphics is also okay as the word ballons and sound effects are well represented. The art is also okay. Its not the type of art you reference from but it fits perfectly well with the kind of humour the story brings. The colour style is also good as the publishers adopted the old school type pixalating colours usually found in comics from the 70’s.

 MINUS 
Though the art fits in well in the story, there are several instances where the laws of anatomy are defiled. Also the way the comic was paneled could be better. Yes the comic is in pidgeon but there are still some typographical errors and pidgeon English errors noticed

 OVERALL 
Well overall we will give FARAGON a 70%. Its definitely a comic worth your while.
