Religion: A Discovery in Comics by Margreet De Heer
3.0
Pretty engaging survey of the "five major world religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism)."
The author was raised by Christians, and talks about how personal religion is and how tricky talking about it can be. And she did a pretty good job, from my perspective (though mine is not that far from hers, so might not be a good standard measure).
I learned a few things (standing out is the discussion of what Hinduism is versus Buddhism), and it didn't ping too many of my personal triggers in this area. Appreciated the transparency of approach.
Full color, cartoony illustration style, and yes, she does depict a certain prophet.
