A Vicious Circle | Mattson Tomlin

Two immortal assassins from a dystopian future are trapped in endless battle. Each time one of them kills someone, they are transported together to a different time and place. Can they put aside their differences long enough to save humanity, or will their violent nature lock them in a cyclical pattern of death? Lee Bermejo is possible my favorite artist working today, and he gets to flex some serious skill in this wild, stimulating thriller.

The wacky shenanigans with the history/threat but not the reality of violence, more absurd parody of it, continues.
The highlight for me this volume were the chapters focusing on the sweetest father-in-law ever.
The dessert competition with social media engagement stakes is runner up.
I'm noticing some traditional gender norm judgements on display, but its limited to antagonists spouting such nonsense, and unorthodox-ly contested by our 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 unsettling hero.
Though for as many women as there are appreciating Tatsu's accomplishments in the domestic sphere, I do wish more males than Masa were also willing to follow in his footsteps.
Perhaps too lofty a goal for such a comic series, still glad for the simple reversal of older standards, having Miku be the career woman, in the breadwinning role.
On to the next volume!

I think if it weren‘t for the graphics I wouldn‘t have really enjoyed it at all. As the story continued I started to get a little disconnected because of the dialogue being so young. I can definitely see elementary students eating this story up especially Hispanic kids who can relate to Pedro‘s family dynamic. So, It‘s important to be willing to read about different cultures and their life experiences to have more broad perspective of life.

I love how we are getting to see so of the unfortunate realities of the world through the eyes of a child. For, example when the family is crossing the border into Mexico and they get some of their stuff stolen by the guards and the dad is trying to talk their way through that tense situation. It got so real! To experience something like that as a kid had to of been very frustrating and confusing.

I had never heard of a graphic memoir before and I was so surprised that this isnt done more often! Actually being able to see the family and looking at how their personalities are shown through the images made it much more fun to read! This is a great way to get younger audiences more interested in reading and to stay engaged with the story.

haylee.roach10 I had never seen a graphic memoir either!! this was a fun experience to read and get immersed into non-fiction with the visual context. I love memoir so it was fun to explore. It also helped with the social political themes in the book for younger students to be able to see and get comedic relief about a story with a lot of meaning. 17h

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the graphic novel approach the author took to write his memoir. This novel would be a great mentor text for students, as they could then create their own graphic novel/comic strip memoir and see that not all graphic novels have to be fictional! I think it would also be a great alternative for students who don‘t particularly like reading wordy books!

haylee.roach10 I love the idea about having students create their own comic strip to practice story telling. This would be a great mentor text for younger students. I agree that the book was not super wordy which made it easy to read. I also enjoyed that it was non-fiction but a graphic novel. That was unique as far as I'm aware. 17h
