Me and Passmore share a bunch politically but nihilism isn't something that motivates me, so there's some parts that didn't vibe with me and that's okay! Beautiful use of color, engaging storytelling, and astute observations on the nature of racism at the time. I would love to read his thoughts on things today, considering the large shifts in the general culture around solidarity, revolution, and white supremacy.

3.0

This comic collection takes a look at politics, racism, anarchy, and other topics. Several made vivid points, while others felt a little random. I laughed hard when a vampire accidentally killed a goose with a Mandrake. Overall, I didn't enjoy this collection, and didn't fully understand some of the comics. I have no doubt that this will be exactly the right read for some.

The author doesn't address misogynoir, and also references some leftist websites that don't verify information or the stories they publish. Overall, I think it's good, but as a Black, queer woman I have questions.
