davramlocke 's review for:

Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli
5.0

Probably taking the place as my new favorite graphic novel, a prize previously held by Bechdel's Fun Home. Both stories are great, but I feel like the artwork and color schemes in Asterios Polyp set it above Bechdel's biography. It tells a fictional story, but one every bit as heartfelt and meaningful as what you'll find in reality.

Not only is the story and artwork beautiful, but the book itself is a treasure. Just all around amazing.
