I didn't really like the artwork in this graphic novel. It's very dark, but I suppose it matches the subject material, which is all about drug rings, child slavery, and prostitution. It's told from a Christian perspective, all about rescuing people from those things, so it has a positive message, but still... it makes for distressing reading.

This story follows a professor who is studying ancient myths about creation and snakes in various religions and he finds a connection between them all to suggest that the story of Eden is actually true. Through the adventures and dangers he faces, he comes to believe that there truly is a God who extends grace to mankind.

I loved all the action and drama going on! The characters have these internal struggles that match the outward struggles of the story, and we see a lot of character development.

The story also gives opportunity for the characters to learn about things like the true nature of undeserved grace, why God allows bad things to happen, and how to be on guard against people who twist truth to their own purposes. The messages are deep and thoughtful, but don't feel preachy. The spiritual themes flow easily within the story.
