A review by wanderlustlover
Midnight Nation (New Edition) by J. Michael Straczynski
5.0
Graphic Novel Book Club January 2016
A reread, but another title I brought to the group. I have an outstanding and long-lived love for anything that JMS touches, and I remember when he came back to comics, originally, while I was managing a comic store at the end of my teenage years. I loved it overwhelmingly, and voraciously ate up everything he wrote, and I'm pleased to get to introduce it to others now.
I love this series. I love the mythology of it, and the way it handles homelessness, falling through the cracks and starting not to see people (which has stayed with me and how I try to look at the world, especially the homeless people in it, since reading it the first time). I love the ending, with how painful and beautiful and flawed the main character still is.
