March

Short review: I immediately ordered the trilogy in paper so that I could read it in that method and then give it away.

I really like Nate Powell's art. And I think the framing of John Lewis' life and the broader civil rights movement against Obama's inauguration is brilliant. This is a really good example of how history can come alive via the graphic novel format in a way that straight text could not. I haven't read books two and three yet, but book one was very good and I am looking forward to reading them.

I did read Nate Powell's earlier The Silence of Our Friends before I moved on to the rest of the March series. I will review that separately, but it is worth picking up as well.
