Hexagon Bridge by Richard Blake

Hexagon Bridge by Richard Blake

I regularly trawl the "best of year" graphic novels list that pop up all over the internet at year end, and this is where I heard about Hexagon Bridge. The pitch and the artwork intrigued me enough to want to read it. There are two schools in fiction, the school of "everything will be explained", and the school of "you won't understand everything, get used to it". I'm firmly in that second camp, which is a good thing, because there is a whole lot that goes unexplained in Hexagon Bridge. And yet, this story of parallel universes really works, in part because of the striking art, but also because of the strong characters and driving story. Who cares if most of it stays unexplained?
