I was recommended to read this by LoafyTrophy. I met this recommendation with derision and spite, of course, as it is my natural state. However, like in this book, the paths we take are often surprising! So, here I am, with a foot firmly planted in mouth. This series is great. From the writing, to the pencils, to the coloring. It evokes a solid tone, and the themes are drilled into the reader without the writing losing its way.

Each issue is, frankly, better than the last. And while the format may elicit a repetitiveness that can't be avoided, Ram V uses clever ways to keep things fresh in a light, breezy read that deals with extremely heavy topics. My favorite example being the third issue's perspective of a cigarette. As someone who's had to deal with mortality and death in my life, many times over, and all fairly recently, this series does manage to hit on some of the facets of that in a way that'll leave the reader hanging with their thoughts.

We need more comics nowadays that continue to impact you well after you've finished reading them. That's what keeps comics viable as a medium. The only way to keep the ever increasing prices feasible is to ensure the reader's bang for their buck. After all, your thoughts tend to last much longer than a movie tends to. At a cover price of $14.99, you really can't go wrong with this one.
