  One disappointing flaw with this graphic novel is in how Lockpez chose to frame her story. Cuba: My Revolution essentially lacks a final act. The book ends with Sonya's exodus to America. The author bio in the dust jacket references Lockpez's career as an artist, feminist, and political protester after her arrival in America. I would have liked to see some of this career reflected in Sonya's story. Moreover, I would have liked the final pages of the book to offer some sort of reflection on Sonya's life. What did Sonya learn? How does the author/main character look back on these events 40 years later? I couldn't escape the nagging feeling that Sonya's story wasn't quite finished after turning the last page. Cuba: My Revolution is one of the more gripping stories I've read from Vertigo. I only wish it could have been a bit more fully realized in its climax. Read Full Review
