This was a favorite from when I was working my way through College. It follows the journey of David Grey, Los Angeles Cop.

This graphic novel was amazing. Explores what it means to hope, to abandon, and how hard it can be to pick yourself up after a fall. I can still remember how moving some of the dialogue was when I first read it. I still read it occasionally. One of the few comics I actually own.

A really neat plot idea, with interesting issues the characters have to face. definitely worth reading, but i wasn't particularly drawn (ha!) to the art. if you like graphic novels/comic books, i'd recommend it.

recommends it for:
folks interested in good and evil and the condition of human souls
Cool idea. A guy's soul is stolen from him, and he has to go on a journey (with a beautiful and mysterious escort) to get it back. But why'd he have to be a cop?
The art is gorgeous!

this is one of the best graphic novels i've ever read. it's a self-contained novel and so does not have any sequels etc. but really, really wonderful and heart-rending.
