Wow. Heart wrenching, uplifting graphic novel about the struggle to keep hope at the darkest of times.

Davis strikes a chord on many fronts, including how the most pressing issues are almost never covered in mainstream news, people have full, complicated lives and point of views, and how leftist groups are attacked by the state despite their actions towards a better future for all.

I really enjoyed this and read it in one sitting, in about an hour. I'm still processing it, and I highly recommend it.

Really quite good until the end, which felt very rushed and abrupt and did not inspire hope or positive feelings in me as I assume it was trying to do. I found it more troubling that
2 people who punch each other in the face during conflict then don't resolve their issues are able to successfully procreate is meant to mean all is good now.
Not very hopeful for the future at all.
