Such an amazing comic! It's beautiful to hold and read, and an expertly modern piece of literature where the style is the content and the content is the style. David Mazzucchelli uses opposite colours very effectively, and the prevalence of purple with yellow is beautiful and unexpected.
What I am enjoying most so far is how much can be imparted about something by the way that thing is drawn. For example, take a look at the variety of drawing styles used to describe the faculty members below:
And the simplicity of the following panel is all the more powerful because the way the two characters are drawn tells so much about who they are and how they are feeling.
It's exhilarating to read something this good!
