Order This Book! Aaron and Ahmed from Vertigo
AARON AND AHMED HC
Vertigo/DC Comics
Writer: Jay Cantor
Artist: James Romberger
Horrifying and mind-bending, the narrative of Aaron and Ahmed goes from real to surreal and back again. There are points where the reader will ask if the action occurs in the reality of the book or in the head of the main character.
Meme is the word and concept that writer Jay Cantor plays with the whole time. Meme is a viral idea. The book explores the biggest questions: what is love, what is god, why are we here, what happens after we die, what is belief, what are the forces that drive people to do what they do, cultural differences. The book also explores more specific themes: roots of terrorism, modern warfare, torture, Gitmo, treatment of U.S. veterans.
File under: war, psychological thriller
