A review by spacemanchris
Boxers by Gene Luen Yang
4.0
This is a great mix of historical fiction mixed with Chinese mythology. At the turn of 20th Century, Little Bao grows tired of being bullied by foreigners so he learns how to harness the power of Gods (and big swords) to take the fight to them.
I love Gene Luen Yang's art. It's so simple, so straight forward but he manages to convey so much through the story and dialogue that it leaves such a lasting impression. He creates these incredibly sympathetic characters and then has them do things that are anything but. It forces you to question what you would do in their situation and where right ends and wrong begins.
This works perfectly as a stand-alone story, but I'm really curious to see where the companion book "Saints" takes the story.
