I didn’t know what to expect when opening Ex Libris, but Matt Madden surprised me with depth and wit. In a world made of one locked room, the protagonist of the story tries to find an escape through a bookshelf of graphic novels. While they search the stories for the way out, they are forced to confront the very memories they hoped to leave behind. As each book taunts the main character with their past, they also show the rich history of graphic novels and literature. Through illustration styles that span across time and geography, Ex Libris is not simply about telling stories, but also finding your own.
