Sovereign Traces, Volume 1: Not (Just) (An)Other by Gordon D. Henry Jr., Elizabeth LaPensée
anishinaabekwereads's review
4.0
This graphic novel is a collection of short pieces written and drawn by different Native authors and artists. It's got such a wide range of talent showcased within that it's hard to rate this fairly.
The art:
Every single panel was absolutely stunning. I've skimmed through it twice since reading it just to look at some of them again.
The collections:
The writings collected within this volume all have a similar "haunting" quality when combined with the art. By far, the pieces that have stuck with me the longest are "The Deer Dancer" by Joy Harjo (art by Weshoyot Alvitre) and "Ice Tricksters" by Gerald Vizenor (art by GMB Chomichuk).
I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future volumes of this series as I really enjoyed this one.
