Across a Field of Starlight by Blue Delliquanti is a YA graphic novel set amid a space war. Lu and Fassen are a part of different groups opposed to the Empire who work very differently. They happen upon each other and Lu shares technology so they can stay in touch and the plot goes from there.
This book was outstanding on so many levels. The artwork is incredible and detailed. There is so much diversity, not just in terms of race and gender, but in body type, ability, gender expression, and more. The way the different groups were built up and the themes explored through them were great. There was a lot of complexity with some of the characters and their relationships.
I do wish this had been a series rather than a standalone because there is so much I want to see and ideas that I would have loved to see expanded (that it seems the author would have been able to do some really great things with, judging by what they were able to accomplish with this).
