Distills the key points and players of Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and obstruction by Trump. Months removed now from that period, this graphic novel succinctly pulls together what felt for me like many disparate parts at the time. Backmatter includes a graphic timeline and names/sketches of all the main players. Duin and Wheeler cherrypick the Mueller Report to make a scathing case against Donald Trump for obstructing justice in this graphic adaptation. It's a quick read packed with information, but don't expect a rigorous work of nonfiction. First, the authors have Mueller acting as a narrator and put words in his mouth. In checking their footnotes against the original report, it quickly comes apparent how much more information they are skimming past and how often they are attributing paraphrasing as direct quotes. I was annoyed by the erratic footnoting of the people and their occupations or relation to the report that appeared on the bottom of the story pages. The notes often did not appear on the page of the person's initial appearance and started repeating toward the end for people who had already had a footnote. And it seems silly to include a cast of characters in the rear of the book that mostly includes only the person's last name but then occasionally includes several people's first name. It just gives the appearance of sloppy editing, cutting further into the credibility of the adaptation. Regardless, this makes for a nice overview for a casual reader and anti-Trumper who doesn't want to slog through the dreary text of the original report. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

It's the greatest WHODUNIT of our time... or a new low for "Presidential Harassment!" Shannon Wheeler, Eisner Award-winning New Yorker cartoonist (Too Much Coffee Man, Sh*t My President Says, God is Disappointed in You), and veteran journalist Steve Duin (The Oregonian, Comics: Between the Panels, Oil and Water) turn their critical eye on The Mueller Report-a comprehensive, understandable, and readable graphic novel version of the book every patriot needs. Fight the spin spewing forth from both parties and political pulpits and check out this graphic novel that brings a 400-page legal document down to size. Wheeler and Duin, in graphic form, bring to life scenes detailed in the report: from the infamous Trump Tower Meeting of 2016 to Trump exclaiming "I'm f*cked" upon finding out he was the subject of investigation. It's in the report and it's in the graphic novel! The Mueller Report: Graphic Novel borrows style from classic private detective yarns, complete with a villainous rogues' gallery, nail-biting cliffhangers, and a lone lawman standing proud against the wave of crime. See Trump berate his Attorney General. Watch a petulant Commander-in-Chief lob insults at the White House counsel. Witness the "witch hunt" as it happened, cataloged as only the top lawman in the country could! This staggering laundry list of questionable contacts, misleading statements, unreported engagements, and possible coordination-enough to stun any student of the U.S. Constitution-is laid bare with a cold, satirical edge.
