The art style of this graphic novel was nice and I liked the action scenes, particulalry. I felt like some of the early parts of the novel were a little wordy and the panels didn't have a lot going on, despite the actual drawings being done well technically, which made some parts drag a little for me. I liked the premise of the story though, and the ideas it presents on colonisation, racism/classism, military and revisionist history.
Graphic: Colonisation and War
Moderate: Racism, Violence, and Blood
