This 172 page full color softcover work by Rutu Modan, a founding member of the Israeli comics group, Actus Tragicus, is a real graphic novel. Populated by fully fleshed out characters and beautifully rendered in a personal style that is clean, colorful and capable of conveying the full depth of the strong script which expresses the complexities and nuances that we expect from something called a novel, Exit Wounds is a book you'll be likely to read more than once. Joe Sacco (Palestine, Safe Area Gorazde) calls Exit Wounds "a profound, richly textured, humane, and unsentimental look at societal malaise and human relationships and that uneasy place where they sometimes intersect."
