Cox frameJoseph Cox delivers a thriller filled with such detail. His investigative prowess along with empathy for all actors involved shines through. Cox frames the story of bravado for the FBI and the various intelligence agencies of the world against rising concerns of threats to privacy and increased surveillance. My most memorable part of the story comes when a convict, in the grasp of some of the best FBI agents, slips past them when they are asleep. It shows how human the FBI are and the very human challenges present in the cat and mouse game....more

I am enriched by following the life of Bertrand RusThe book took me on a marvelous quest for truth and expectedly left me to form my own conclusions. I am enriched by following the life of Bertrand Russell and his peers, who show that the quest for truth demands all that you have and sometimes abandoning that quest to messy, complex and emotion of humanity can sometimes lead you closer to truth. I found the existential themes to be absolutely fascinating and it reinforces the spirit of absurdity in my mind and the freedom that comes from everything (and nothing) having meaning. The meta-level plot of the creation of the comic gave me a fascinating look into how people are studied and understood. This is nothing but a glowing recommendation....more

Houses are an enduring symbol of aspirations for many but there is little known about the people whose dreams depend on houses being built. The story Houses are an enduring symbol of aspirations for many but there is little known about the people whose dreams depend on houses being built. The story feels true to the spirit of the city with the dissonance of development at the forefront of its themes. The graphic novel medium also lends itself to telling the story with scale and intimacy with its use of memorable colour palletes and framing to showcase change. The book makes me appreciate the blood, sweat and tears that would have gone into the house I live in and the countless ones that line up this beautiful yet tragic city....more
