We aren’t without the sun, but COVID has changed all of our lives, and like the people in this story, I think we will feel its effects even after its over, perhaps forever. I think there’s a lot in this story that relates to our current situation. The art was fantastic, and it, like any good sci-fi book, examines humanity in the context of “what if,” examining the best and worst in others when faced with a catastrophic event. The Sacrifice of Darkness by Roxane Gay, Tracy Lynne Oliver, art by Rebecca Kirby, coloring by James Fenner (Archaia/BOOM Studios, October 2020) The Sacrifice of Darkness is the full-length graphic novel adaptation of Roxane Gay's 2013 short story 'We Are the Sacrifice of Darkness.' Set in a world that has lost the light of its sun, the story. The stories of young lovers and how children often face the consequences of their parents’ actions. Since then, the days have been dark, the nights bright.” The story takes place in a world with no sun, and it jumps back and forth in time to tell the reader about the history of how things got that way as well as the present and future of living in a world of darkness. “When I was a young girl, my husband’s father flew an air machine into the sun. As soon as I heard Roxane Gay was a part of this graphic novel, I wanted to read it, and I’m super grateful I got the opportunity. I’ve been following this one for a while. BOOM! Studios has never let me down, and they aren’t stopping now. Thanks to NetGalley and BOOM! Studios for the digital review copy of this one. ![]()
