I’m actually really glad that I happened to read this first as a graphic novel because the subject matter is really tough to read about. Even though this format allows for more imagery of what’s going on… for me, personally, longer descriptions would have been infinitely worse. Kindred is amazing in plot and the questions it poses (I think I would have killed Rufus, who cares if I die in the process), but it’s incredibly hard to come to terms with at times.
