Battle Born: Lapis Lazuli by Maximilian UriarteMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
If you thought that Max's The White Donkey was good, then get ready. This new book is a tour de force view of the Marine Corps, the war in Afghanistan, and how there isn't any situation that is defined by a single feature.
The artwork is gorgeous. Pages will go by with subtle and meaningful shifts in the image that heighten the tension of the story without a single word on any page.
The dialog is tight and accurate. The story covers many aspects of life in general as well as life in the Corps in particular.
This is the single best graphic work to be issued this year.
Do....no.....miss....it.
