bandherbooks 's review for:

Pride of Baghdad by Brian K. Vaughan
4.0

Super violent but riveting story about four zoo lions who escape after the Baghdad zoo is bombed during the second Iraq War. Based on true events, Vaughan and the artist Niko Henrichon have a captivating and horrific tale. Often banned for "sexual content" I found the violence more shocking, but only as a very important part of the tale.
