2.5

The worldbuilding in this was so dense, and I just don't know if a short comic run was the right format to let it really sing. Also disappointed that it's been over a decade and there seems to be no hint of the sequel run this desperately needs. I still like the tone overall, very reminiscent of books like Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians and similar that I read as a kid.

For all I was intrigued by this book's premise, all I really felt while reading it was "man I wish I was reading the actual Mahabarata right now"
The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee

Anybody could write a book about the history of cancer, but Mukherjee's clinical experience really kicks this home. It is obvious he has a great deal of compassion and love for his patients, and it shines through in the care he took in his research and writing.
