Abbott: 1973 by Saladin Ahmed, Sami Kivelä

5.0

Abbott: 1973 is a superb collection of several issues of the comic. Detroit reporter and general badass Elena Abbott is covering the mayor's election when she finds herself faced with a gross and sexist boss, the return of the umbra--a malevolent power used by white supremacists to try to bring down the city's first viable Black mayoral candidate--and the local mob. As always, the storytelling is tight and the characters are deep and resonant. My only quibble is the lettering style, in which Us often look like and L and an I, causing some difficulty reading quickly.. Words like CUT don't do well in this lettering style.
