A great biography of Rosa Luxemburg, in comics form. I feel like I really know her now! Red Rosa also provides a good introduction to Luxemburg's ideas, and to the socialist theories and debates that developed during her lifetime. This book makes a good case for why Rosa Luxemburg's ideas (and socialism in general) are relevant today, and is good reading for any socialist feeling confused and abandoned in our harsh neo-liberal times.
This isn't exactly a graphic adaptation of PKD's novel, but rather an illustrated (illuminated?) version of the Novel. I was pleased to see that it skipped none of my favorite parts from the part of the book that #1 covers (such as the discussion about "kipple"). Can't wait to check out the next volume!
Pulp Handmaids Tale crossed with Orange is the New Black (tv), crossed with the Moon is a Harsh Mistress, crossed with Hunger Games. I especially enjoyed the advertisement/classified pages. Like Handmaid's Tale and Hunger Games,Bitch Planet feels a little too close to reality.
Feels like a Zine in hardcover. It was a fun read. I wish she actually went through people's purses/bags/whatever and drew what she saw, leaving us the readers to guess which ones were real and which were imagined.
Reminds me a bit of a story from the Martian Chronicles, except it's set on the moon. Mooncop feels like it's about both the future and the present. The art is cute.
Reading this book is kind of like watching Tremors or Maximum Overdrive. It's bad, but it's great. The art conveyed a lot of motion.
I liked this book mostly for the perspective it gave on life in pre-WWII Soviet Ukraine; how people made money, how they worked, what kinds of parties they had, etc.... The book also (intentionally?) showed similarities between cultural life in 1920s-1930s Kiev and an American retirement home.
Goofier than #s 1&2, and filled with more one-off sort of storylines.
