I first read Kindred in a college class about dreams and time travel, and Octavia Butler's searing story of blood, family, morality, and racism never left me. I knew any adaptation wouldn't be able to capture the painful magic of the original, but Damian Duffy and John Jennings's graphic novel comes pretty damn close. The linework, the coloring, and the pacing breathe new feeling and even sharper edges into an already dark tale. I read it in one sitting before and man, the nightmares after. A thoroughly chilling work.
