![]() ![]() ![]() Through Yetu’s Rememberings, memories from all the wajinru past and present, we get to explore what the weight of a history means and how it lingers with those who are both so far from it and yet forever present in it. Though there is little or no light in the deep, the feeling of motion and sound is given new resonance and you see as Yetu does, feeling with her scales and fins, learning to hear what is happening in her watery home. Solomon tells this story beautifully and with an encompassing, engrossing visual palette. While everyone else lives blissfully unaware, she carries all the pain, torment and death within her, sharing it only once a year to remind her people of who they are, if only for a little while. She is the latest Historian and keeper of the true origins of the wajinru. One of their descendants, Yetu, has been chosen to hold all the memories of her people, the wajinru. The mermaid-like babies of pregnant African slave women thrown overboard have survived and created a new society in the water. Rivers Solomon’s The Deep is a powerful narrative that takes the horrendous legacies of colonialism and racism and finds a fantastical twist that offers something new. ![]() ![]() Within the deep, dark ocean, vibrations and sound are physical and visual. An echo of a dream, the confronting effect of a scream or comfort in a breath. ![]()

![]() Lone Wolf and Cub was a joint project by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima about a disgraced shogun executioner who is hell-bent on seeking revenge for the transgressions committed against his family. This is straight-up disrespectful and seeing that put this review to the top of my list. When I picked up volume 1 at Barnes and Nobel it was at the bottom of the shelf. This series is massive and for its storied history, I would consider it to be an underappreciated epic graphic novel. Moreover, for a manga to be written in the 70's and be followed up by having a TV series, over 5 movies, and various spinoffs just speaks to the genre-defining display of writing and drawing found within all 28 Volumes, and yes you read that correctly TWENTY-EIGHT VOLUMES. Rumor has it that Hollywood will be making a movie based on manga/graphic novel as well. ![]() Lone Wolf and Cub is credited with influencing big-name titles from The Mandalorian to Bobs Burgers, both of which have had major success. Lone Wolf and Cub has been a favorite read of mine for several years and re-reading it was sublime, as with graphic novels I always notice something I missed the first read around. With manga becoming more and more mainstream over the last fifty or so years it is important to review a historical epic that has a massive amount of influence on authors and creators from all over the world. ![]() Lone Wolf and Cub is a little different from what I normally read with this being the first manga I have reviewed.
