The tone and simplistic nature of this graphic novel loses some sophistication and intricate plot of a novel – but it is the nature of some graphic novels. ![]() The narrative is that same juvenile tone as Iko, same silliness, which can be enchanting. There was a little more tugging at the heart strings than I anticipated with the discussion of what it is to be human as Iko comes to terms with her identity and relationships. ![]() This is a simple story, but has grit and does not shy away from surprises.

Doctor Sleep, the sequel to Stephen King's The Shining and Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film, gets a full scene by scene breakdown and analysis for all the references and Easter Eggs you missed. Jack was made Lloyd the bartender to try and tempt Danny into drinking, and then swiftly shifted into Grady's old waiter role when that became most convenient for the Overlook. Ewan McGregor as Dan Torrance, an alcoholic man with psychic powers known as the shining. Doctor Sleep shows how Dan overcomes internal conflict and bonds with Abra Stone (Kyliegh Curran), an adolescent girl who also has the shining. While the natural assumption up until Doctor Sleep was that Lloyd was simply a real bartender that once worked at the Overlook and eventually died there, the fact that Jack has now been swapped into the same role suggests that when the hotel absorbs a soul into its pantheon of ghosts, the malevolent structure then places its pawns into whatever pre-made roles it sees fit, regardless of what they did in life. ![]() The Shining gives no backstory on Lloyd, and Jack improbably knows his name without having met before, suggesting that the hotel just planted that suggestion in his mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() I personally enjoy that mix of real-life with the fantastical.
