Boxers by Gene Luen Yang

4.0

Gene Luen Yang, author of the award-winning graphic novel American Born Chinese, returns with the Boxers/Saints stories.
In Boxers, Little Bao is living in a small village in China in 1898 as white missionaries have started to appear and bully the 'black-headed people' of his community. Little Bao joins the Big Sword Society with a group of brother-disciples who are able to transform into mythical warriors, divinely charged with the task of keeping China united against the Christian devils. He is forced to decide along the way what 'keeping China together' really means, and at what cost.
