Okay. Okay. This took me forever to read. Like almost two months. it is an imposing mass of a book. And, for me, it was difficult to read physically. The book was heavy and hard to manage. Is that weird? I don't know. It's just a big heavy book.
The art is beyond amazing. Intricate drawings made with ballpoint pen. Elaborate cross-hatching. Hyper-realism combined with monsters. Artistically, it's wonderful. I could look at some of these drawings for days. And did.

This book is insane! Between the amazing illustrations to the gripping story, Emil Ferris is fantastic! I loved how she pulled in the real issues people were dealing with back then!

What can I say besides phenomenal? The artwork is so, so detailed; classic with a modern twist. The expressions and language are perfect. That leaves the story...but it's actually many stories and each one alone would be enough, but instead we are treated to a feast of characters and their narratives. Can't wait for more!
