Notes:
(1) Been meaning to read this for a while. I don't know what it's about, but I generally enjoy reading James Tynion IV and I'm a fan of Michael Dialynas from his runs on IDW "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
(2) This has the look of a middle-grade fantasy. Probably high fantasy too, despite having a very real-world aesthetic.
- But then, so does "Saga" and "Star Wars.""

Notes:
(1) Pipetown's powered by hydraulic technology.
- So, technically not steampunk world, but close.
(2) There's a budding gay love triangle between Wynd, the gardener's son and the prince.
- Except for the total absence of heterosexual couples, this world seems fairly heteronormative.
(3) Characters speak in British vernacular, and so I've adjusted accents accordingly."

Notes:
(1) Wynd's origin borrows a lot from the Biblical story of Moses.
- A woman finds a baby floating down a river in a basket. She rescues him and raises him as her own, saving him from execution laws against his kind.
(2) Oakley admits she loves Wynd, but adds "like a brother." Whether this is true is left ambiguous.
- Forget love triangle, we could have a love-square!"

Notes:
(1) The big death at the end felt a bit rushed. It comes right on the heels of a big character reveal, which I'd like to have had some room to breathe and play out in the story.
(2) Sometimes with this book, I feel it moves over the borderline from middle-grade into children's fantasy. Then it hits you with a bunch of deaths, and I'm like, "Okay, middle-grade it is.""

Really, there's nothing I'd recommend in general to everybody, I like to get a sense what someone's into first, and whether they're new to graphic novels or not. In terms of superhero books, maybe Batman: Hush or Harleen. Otherwise, Saga or Deadly Class if they're not squeamish. The current IDW run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles if you want something equal parts fun and exciting.
