I love it when an adaptation adds to the original by celebrating the new medium's strengths.
Plus with a hardback size worthy of an epic, if anyone claims comics aren't are you can just beat them over the head with it

Reminder that on top of everything today transphobia is a scam and every TERF is a sucker.
This paper highlights the astronomical amount of money being channeled into the anti-gender movement lobbying - of which ‘gender critical’ transphobia is an ‘entry level’ recruitment tool.
