Asterios polyp graphic novel5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() However, I was angered by the ending of the novel: when Asterios and Hana are reunited at her home and reflecting on what they can possibly have again in a relationship, an asteroid comes out of nowhere on the next page heading straight for their house. I found the art style and the themes interesting, got a kick out of the references to Greek/Roman mythology and the duality themes, and I found nearly all of the characters interesting to follow (despite the rather little development they undergo as characters only Asterios really changes his ways in the stereotypical “man goes on life-changing journey and realizes he was wrong” arc), with Ursula Major and Hana being my personal favorites. Despite what the title of this reflection may say, I do not hate Asterios Polyp overall. ![]()
