Information was interesting enough but overall the illustrations felt rushed and incomplete, which normally wouldn’t matter, except this a graphic novel. That’s the whole point.

If you are clueless and what is going on right now with Russia, I highly recommend this graphic novel. Darryl does a great job breaking down all the information and showing how nasty of a man Putin is.

If you want a simplified look into the many ways Putin is an evil crook, then this is for you. I still won’t remember half the names mentioned, but this pretty much confirms what I already knew: Putin is one messed up villain. The art isn’t the best, but the content is insightful if you’re just looking to understand the dictator in sheep’s clothing.

3,5. Graphic biographies are where it's at. I wouldn't have had the energy to read a full-length book about Putin, but still want to know about the atrocities and corruption that are endemic to his regime. Naturally, it is not the most nuanced due to the short format, nor the most visually exciting graphic novel, but definitely worth a read.

This was definitely a grim and menacing reading experience, but it absolutely is a great primer for our current geo-political moment. Sometimes, as you live through history, it’s hard to gather context as events unfold and put them into a cohesive story- I’ve often felt like my short-term memory isn’t suited for the rapidity of a news cycle. This graphic history gathers all the stories we’ve followed for the last 10-20 years and shows how we’ve gotten to today, how we’ve failed to uphold accountability and justice time and time again.
