I could spend this entire review jabbering on about how it's a heartbreaking, sometimes bleak often hilarious paen to love against all odds, or how it genuinely gives me hope for this messed up world of ours that this kind of art is being created.
But instead, I'll just say, read it.
Read it and laugh huge chuckles of the "what the f#ck was that?" variety. Read it and weep uncontrollably at the various harrowing realities laid bare. Read it and see more filthy, anarchic, bloody, raw, wonderful content than you thought could exist in a comic book.
(Note: if you're under 18 and/or of a sensitive disposition i would advise you to ignore this advice. See content warnings)
Thanks, Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vaughan, you cooked good.

This series unambiguously puts the "graphic" into "graphic novel." If you're uncomfortable about anything listed, don't read it. And don't say I didn't warn you. (Dear God there's so many penises)kiarabouyea's review
