'In the Moment' by Hanco Kolk and Kim Duchateau with art by Marloes Dekker is a graphic novel about an odd love story where each person lives at a different rate of time.

A woman named Sylvia checks in to a hotel. She gets a drink in the bar and causes a small scene, so she decides to go to her room and prepare for a meeting.

Unbeknownst to Sylvia, there is a time traveller who has become smitten with her named Rafael. To Rafael, Sylvia barely moves because her time is going slower.

This is a two part story, and this is only the first half. I believe the story probably really picks up after this, but I like stories of time and time travel so I enjoyed it. I also liked the art style with it's impression of characters using minimal lines.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

While I enjoyed the art work, the actual story of "In The Moment" felt like nothing was really happening. The plot could have been more interesting.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a earc of in the moment.

This is only the first part of the story. I thought it was okay, if it wasn’t for Netgalley I probably wouldn’t have picked this up or heard of it. The timeline is different then I have seen before, made it the interesting part but confused me at first. The art style was okay too it didn’t blow me away. I gave this a two out five stars.

This was so interesting I wish it was the complete story and not just part 1!
So basically in this story there are two types of "people:" humans like us called Chrono People, and the Decimal Men who live on a parallel but completely separate timeline that exists in the space between our seconds.
Sylvia is a Chrono who is staying at a hotel in Sag Harbor at the same time as Decimal Rafael. In fact, unbeknownst to Sylvia they are staying in the same room. As Rafael spends time around her, he falls in love with Sylvia - enough to quit his job and basically start working for free at the hotel just so he can see her every day. As his life passes by quickly, no time at at has passed on her time line, but Sylvia is very beautiful and rumors about her have spread - which has led to a problem: another Decimal is madly in love with her, but in a totally psycho way. You see, if a Decimal ever touches a Chrono, it means instant death for both of them, and Rafael has just learned there is a suicidal Decimal bound and determined to touch Sylvia.
Will Rafael succeed in keeping his beloved safe when he can't even touch her? I guess you will have to read and see.

This is a unique twist on the story of Romeo and Juliet. The artwork is simple but beautiful. The story is a little hard to grasp at first as well as the different time systems the two different characters exist within. This was an enjoyable albeit confusing read. I'm not sure if I will continue with the series.

A beautiful graphic novel that covered some good ground with its storyline. Beautiful artwork throughout.

The art executes the story quite well, and I'm interested in the plot, but I feel like I can't make any conclusions about the whole until I've also seen the second half of the story.

I thought the artwork was excellent but I didnt really warm to the story.

This is a story about two people living in the same physical world but their worlds overlap and one world is different to the other. The people from our world cant see the people from the invisible world but the people in the invisible world can see us.

And so a man from the invisible world falls in love with a woman from our world. She cant see him but he sees her and speaks to her even though she doesnt know that he exists. The danger comes when someone else from his world develops an interest in the woman.

Great art but the story ends on a cliff hanger and I think I would really need to read volume two in order to truly do the story justice. It has a sci-fi feel to it with great art.

I can see classes in fiction digging this out to show the versatility of the graphic novel form, but I can't pretend it's a completely successful, entertaining book. An attractive young woman in a wheelchair fetches up in a hotel room in America, where there's already someone staying. This person is a bloke who lives on an entirely different timescale to us, in an existence where you'd be able to fetch up on a baseball diamond beneath a diving fielder and have your whole picnic before he's denied someone a home run and landed on the ground on top of you. Naturally he falls in love. The book has a moral, about those of us who just choose to let time pass them by, but it's not brilliant. I wished for the font change in narrators to spread to the speech bubbles too, for the differences between the worlds (and the connections) to be better defined by the artwork, and so on. OK, part of the query about the book is the incredible cliff-hanger, so you really don't know what's to come, but I'd expect a finer handle on what I was reading from a great book. This could be great – this fragment is at least in the good category.

This story is set in a distopyan world where people live in two separate dimensions. One day a Decimal man (people apparently living at super high speed) falls in love with a Chrono woman (a normal human being) in a wheelchair. Will they ever be able to meet at the same time speed and live their moment? You’ll have to read the next installments to know because this volume ends with a cliffhanger.

Imaginative, this story takes unexpected directions. The creative team is artistic and makes a fine graphic novel for us to enjoy. A quality and layered reading experience.
