Habibi by Craig Thompson is probably one of the most enjoyable comics I’ve read in my life. I had two long flights over the past week, and luckily I had this book to escape the stress and time of flying.

If I could only use one word to describe this book, it would be beautiful.

The art is beautiful. The story is beautiful. The language is beautiful. The symbolism is beautiful. The design is beautiful. The layouts are beautiful. The calligraphy is beautiful. The narrative is beautiful.

The way it all comes together is beautiful.
