Amazing adaptation of Parable of the Sower. Jennings’s art goes well with Parable of the Sower’s themes of sadness & loss. Jennings’s art from this or his adaptation of Kindred remind me of some sort of revolutionary mural style (I can’t put my finger on whose). I’m reminded a tiny bit of the Mexican revolutionary muralists. This book made me want to re-read the novel (& the sequel). I’m amazed this hasn’t been adapted into a miniseries, or a full on series complete with spin-offs, etc. For me, one of the things that feels the most true about Parable of the Sower & Octavia Butler’s writing in general is that when a person dies “off screen”, it does NOT mean they’re going turn out to be alive after all later. I also appreciate how Sacramento got a mention as a place too boring to have any action occur there, even after the collapse of society.
