A.D.: After Death by Scott Snyder
4.0
A really beautifully presented story about aging, immortality, and what makes life living.
This isn't the graphic novel you're used to, switching from pages containing paragraphs of prose and a single illustration, to pages with sparse, decorated prose, to actual comic style panels. I found it very unique and an immersive read.
The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is that I found the ending fairly abrupt and I'm not sure I've processed the meaning yet. But maybe that's the point? Maybe the book ends the way life often does - suddenly and often without explanation...
