Persia Blues, Volume 1: Leaving Home by Dara Naraghi

2.0

I'm glad that this title exists, to provide a variety of stories available (contemporary Iranian woman, Iranian woman of legend), but this lacked depth and wasn't particularly polished. The script seemed too blatant/simplistic with the messages of feeling yoked under Iran's morality police. In my opinion, the story merely alternated between the myths and the present, without meaningfully tying the two together. Both timelines lack forward momentum, and the end was abrupt and hand-wavey. Overall, I liked the art, but it felt stiff.
