This was a great second installment! Everything seems so much deeper and developed in this one. We are treated to a new character called Yugo, and Alita takes an instant shine to him.

The Fall of the House of Usher (graphic novel)
Author | Matthew K. Manning |
ISBN | 1434230244 |
Beautiful work for an awesome tale
Poe's narrative is so genius that even though some scenes may look like Standards from so many films and books that were inspired by his works, his texts are creepy and once we focus on reading and meditate on the scenes, they become a beauty sublime.

I have always loved this story. Is the man crazy? There is no doubt in my mind. This graphic novel is gorgeous. Both author and illustrator work with the comic world.
