Guy alienates his wife, his marriage breaks up and he quits his job and gets lost for awhile. It is not a vastly original story, but the graphic sensibility and visual storytelling is quite complex and rewarding. I particularly liked the retelling of the myth of Orpheus in the subway system. The pacing and quiet sense of drama were perfect and carried the story along effortlessly as we work to unravel the mystery of how the world famous architect 'Sterio came to work as a car mechanic in small town nowhere. Really enjoyable and not even a let down, despite all of the media hype the book has received.
