I don't know how much it is because I don't read many graphic novels,  but I feel like you might struggle to follow this if you aren't familiar with the story. I'm vaguely familiar with the plot but still felt a little lost at times. That being said, the art is absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed the different colour choices for different times and themes.

After watching the series I expected to be more dissolutioned with experiencing the same plot again but DAMN IT if this isn't just an incredible story. I really dislike ambiguous endings - they feel lazy and I feel betrayed - but this is the best ambiguous ending I've ever read. I'm so glad I know the handmaid's tale exists; essential reading. Other than one nit-picky artistic choice, I really have NO complaints and it feels SO good to be SO impressed on every page.
