The style of illustration has a way of capturing emotions that feels very intimate and alive, while the motion and flow of panels gives life and age to the protagonist in a unique way. On a side note, its obvious from the 'biopic' focus of this story that its going to be biased on some topics, so expect some 'hard opinions' on some religious topics here. It's a must-read for anyone interested in the genre or those who appreciate well-told stories.

It's also covers the themes of faith in it, as Craig grapples with his strict religious upbringing. “How satisfying it is to make footprints in the snow, to leave a mark, no matter how temporary. I'm disappointed about it, I replaced it and hopefully the new one I'll receive won't be the same.
