While browsing the graphic novel section of Barnes and Noble this comic caught my eye. I took it to the cafe, sat down, and read the first 100 pages. It only took a few pages, though, before I decided that I just *had* to grab this. I read the whole thing the next day (it’s epic in length – comparable to Blankets by Craig Thompson) and fell in love. It’s quite beautiful… with excellent pacing, strong characters, and a compelling story. What really struck me, however, was how it was progressive without feeling pretentious. In case you were wondering, for the most part it’s a family drama with some humor.
