See my review on the novel if you want to know how I felt about the story.
I couldn't resist this one when I spotted it. My ecopy was a bit blurry, I blame my tablet as it does that to many other GN/comics. Luckily the book is still very fresh on my mind so I could easily replicate the missing text or unreadable text.
This was a good adaptation of the novel. Sure some things are condensed or left out, at times it felt like the order of the story was a bit wobbly and there were things that were arranged different (how Moira and Offred met again). The art was pretty great, and now I could also finally see how old the Commander and Serena were. In my minds they were a great deal younger (though still too old to get kids together).

Felt this was a perfect way to delve into this world as the novel itself has always intimidated me. Very poignant and powerful

I’ve watched the show and now have read the graphic novel. Love the show. Loved the graphic novel! I cannot wait to read the book too. The whole premise of this is so scary to me and makes me wonder if we are not too far off from this being an alternative reality?!? We should be careful!
