• Sleep too much, or sleep too little

I've never read it but I heard it is violent.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I have the first two volumes so I can only comment up to that point. It is beautifully drawn, with a unique style in the page layouts. There is some violence and bloodshed (someone is run through with a sword, someone is cut up by wires), but it is not overly graphic. I would page through a couple volumes in the store before buying it, just to see how you are concvicted.

Here is a link to a review. I have not read the review, so I don't know if there are spoilers or not.

Oh, the art is really good! Though it's a little violent, but not overly detailed...
