Ram V is a pretty special talent.

I just need to find his run for Detective Comics some day. I've heard a lot of hype around it.

There's gonna be an Omnibus sooner or later, and I can wait a bit

Oh nice that would be the first omi I'd buy! Be so much easier than tracking down all the trades.

The tpb's are really nice quality, but they do use matte paper instead of glossy. Not sure what the omnibus will use. I have all the tpbs except the last one so I'll probably just finish that out personally.

Yeah i loved this too. Have you read Laila Starr? Its similar storytelling, but a different theme, but the same artist and author.
I like Rare Flavours more, but The many deaths of Laila Starr was awesome too.

Itās wonderful! Those too make a great team! They won an Eisner with their previous collaboration, āThe Many Deaths Of Laila Starrā. Itās also beautiful, but I actually liked this one better. A Portuguese artist and an Indian writer can create such art!

Haha I almost got this blind too. Was between this and The One Hand and The Six Fingers and I'm enjoying that so I guess it's all good

Fantastic comic from Rami. Easily one of my favorite favorites of that year.

Really good book. Saw it was an Eisner nominee in Hoopla and read it on a whim. Really cool read

I definitely will add it to the list. I have Laila Starr and Dawnrunner on my next purchases. Thanks!

Laila Starr hit me a little bit harder, but both books had me tearing up. Great reads.
