By Water : The Felix Manz story
by Jason Landsel
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!
This is a graphic novel style story about Felix Manz, an Anabaptist reformer. I'm not particularly religious, but I love history and did study the Reformation in college. We covered Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli, of course, but I don't remember reading about Felix Manz specifically, so I was pretty happy with the idea of this story.
I like graphic novels, and I love history, so I this is right up my alley. I really liked the artwork and it looks like a lot of effort went into it. I also thought the story was done well. A few parts were a little confusing/hard to follow, but nothing major.
At the end of the novel, there is a section that gives some information about the major players, a timeline and a bibliography. I thought the timeline and historical figures was a really nice touch. I'm interested for more from the team that worked on this. Whether it's a follow-up to this, an Anabaptist (or Reformation) series, or history in general, I look forward to it.
