I gave this four stars, but my feelings about this book are difficult to coalesce down to a simple numeric rating. I read this with my Readings in the Graphic Novel course, and I agree that it is seminal graphic novel/comic reading. However, there are some things about this book that I didn't care f...
This isn't the best story ever to me, but the depth is amazing. Every person who reads it is sure to see a different angle. Many things are going on, lots of side stories, metaphors galore, symbolism, connections. There's so much here, a person could fall inside and get lost if not careful. This...
There is a reason why this is one of the most well-known and loved graphic novels on the market.

I have never been a fan of comic books, and this novel does not change that desp...

I'm glad I finally read this classic graphic novel. It was longer than I'm used to, but a lot of fun. I knew a fair amount of spoilers beforehand, just from being aware of the book. It was a bit dated, since it was written and set in the 1980s, though an alternate version of the 80s. I was a bit w...
