This is the best comic I've read.
If I had to show someone what the comic book medium can do that no other medium can, I would hand them this. The way the words and pictures interact, using visual metaphors, the drawing style. It's perfect.
It's not my favourite comic, that would be something with more sentimental value. But it is a bitter-sweet joy to read, and really technically perfect.
I teach a comic class for middle schoolers. It's unfortunate there are a couple images unsuitable for them, so unfortunately I can't use this in school.
