Another favorite read of the year! Even though magic is at the center of this story, what it examines is life under late-stage capitalism. In the book's world — as i the real world — everything is possible, for the few. And true justice is only ever achieved through human connection. The beauty of the artwork was matched by the complexity and thoughtfulness of the storytelling, a rare feat for any graphic novel. So much beauty and tragedy in these 500 pages!
