A review by hellocookie
Barbalien: Red Planet by Tate Brombal, Jeff Lemire

5.0

One of the most important books on shelves right now. This tells such a vital and REAL story, hidden within a superhero comic book. Tate Brombal writes with such an incredible passion and fierceness that comes through in every single panel on the page. Gabriel Walta and Jordie Bellaire are the DREAM TEAM with their art and colours. I stopped regularly just to take in all the subtleties of their work that brings Brombal's story to life on the page. And Aditya Bidikar's lettering is brilliant - from the alien language to the every day dialogue and bright word pops of Dr. Day and the Sunlight Sisters. Everyone poured their heart and soul into this story and you can tell.

This book is perfect in every way and it is a MUST read.
