A review by callum_mclaughlin
Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughan

5.0

Of course there are moral and political undertones here, about the brutality of war and the cruelty that humans are capable of, even issues like racial distrust if you want to take the allegory really seriously. At its heart though, beyond a little creative liberty, this is a poignant tale about a search for freedom, beautifully brought to life through the stunningly vibrant artwork. It hurtles towards an ending that feels inevitable but which hits hard nonetheless.
