jbmorgan86 's review for:
Boxers
by Gene Luen Yang
Boxers-Saints is a two-part graphic novel series about the Boxer Rebellion, a late 18th/early 19th century Chinese rebellion against Western colonialism. I read Saints (part 2) first, but it didn’t really matter. The two halves tell the same story from two different perspectives.
Boxers tells the story of Little Bao, a teenager who wants a China free of Western colonizers. Gene Luen Yang mixes historical fiction with magical realism as all of the rebels became avatars of Chinese mythology.
Boxers is double the length of Saints but just as good. Yang is a great storyteller. This is my third graphic novel I’ve read by him and all three have been great.
