A review by roseleaf24
Boxers by Gene Luen Yang

5.0

I never thought I'd say this about a graphic novelist, but Gene Luen Yang will be on my must-read list from now on. A graphic novel about the Boxer Rebellion -- oh, my does it work well. The depth of emotion that is conveyed by the pictures is amazing, and the brief text says everything it needs to say and much more than it seems. I love the idea of showing opposing sides of a war with companion volumes, each focusing on an individual involved with the conflict. I haven't read Saints yet, but I can't wait.
