Review:

Praise for Rutu Modan:

"The real glory of "Exit Wounds "is Modan's artwork. Her characters' body language and facial expressions, rendered in the gestural 'clear line' style of Herge's Tintin books, are so precisely observed, they practically tell the story by themselves." "--The New York Times Book Review

""Modan's spare, affecting lines and charged dialogue add up to a tragicomic take on family and identity . . . Grade A-" "--The Washington Post"
