I am too close to the incidents of this book to be unbiased about it. The 2017 California fires didn't take my home, but came within less than 10 miles or so of us. I had a friend who had been evacuated staying on my couch, and a go-bag packed on my floor for a week. I had met the author, Brian Fies, before the fires and I read his original comic online the day he posted it. If you want to know more about this natural disaster, I highly recommend this book. It's clear, direct, and honest. There are a few dense text pages which tell the experiences of others, and other lighter comic sections which share moments of grim humor found a midst the disaster. Brian Fies has a real talent for this kind of work, and I am glad he chose to use his skills to document this story.
