...a jauntily irreverent but fundamentally serious take on a vastly influential political work. Publishers Weekly The Manifesto's always been a rather easy read and Rowson's adaptation makes it even more accessible, but the graphic novel also serves as an all-too-timely reminder of just what kind of world we're living in today. -- Gizmodo An excellent overview of Marxism, a brilliant critique of capitalism, and a fine example of political cartooning that will be of interest to high school and university audiences. Highly recommended. -- Library Journal online
