Exit Wounds

Exit Wounds by Rutu Modan.

Exit Wounds is the story of a young man who is just told by a young woman that his father might have died in a recent terrorist attack. The man and the woman try to find out whether the man died or not and in the process they start having feelings for each other.

The book is very good. I found it very interesting to see how the characters react to tragedy in the book. It was surprising to see how easy everyone talks about terrorist attacks, since it is part of everyday life in Israel, people don't seem scared or angry when they talk about the violence.

The comic focuses on these two characters and I feel like we get to know them very well. I thought Modan did a great job with the artwork and with the writing in this comic.
