I&#8217;ll speak as someone with limited knowledge of the subject, so  feel free to dismiss my uninformed opinion. Does that mean that I hated  it? No, far from it, I just wanted you to know that I don&#8217;t know what  I&#8217;m talking about. This one is pretty simple, where the last issue I  read (see above) was all over the place, but in a good way. The bulk of  this story is a day and night in the life on Manya. She hates her job,  has dinner with her grandma and has a conversation from beyond the grave  with Marie Curie. I learned a few things, the art is still incredible  and the dialogue is fantastic, all around not much to complain about it  except that it was slightly, um, dull. Sorry, I just didn&#8217;t know the  character. There were more Manya books at the comic store and you&#8217;ll be  hearing about the rest of them sooner or later too. Check this one out  if you&#8217;re a fan of Marie Curie, otherwise stick to the other one and get  this when you&#8217;ve read everything else these two have done.
