Customer Reviews
This is the single greatest graphic novel I’ve ever read.
Yorick is a great lead character who I found it very easy to identify with. He’s flawed and lazy and not a lot of things go his way, but you can’t help but love him. He’s also pretty funny, even if no-one else seems to realise this.
Rather than being a superhero (spandex brigade!) story, this is the most human story I’ve ever come across in this form.
I highly recommend all 10 books that complete this story. After you’ve read these, have a look at Pride of Baghdad by the same writer. Ignore what that says its all about and buy it anyway. You won’t be disappointed.
