This series is a lot of things at the same time. A monster story from the sympathetic perspective of the kaiju; a prison story; an allegory for the abuses of power. It's kind of like if the Wire was populated with characters from Ultraman and it is fantastic.A

I've had the first few volumes for years and just got around to reading them. The art is really loose and powerful. I can't tell if the color is watercolor but it has this crazy Kirby energy. Both the story and art are bombastic without being dumb. It's not unlike a Thunderbolts/Suicide Squad type story but honestly I'm way more invested in these characters that I just met. I only wish I had read this sooner.

This is an interesting read. It was interesting to me as someone aspiring to not have a job and close to making that happen. The look at "why have jobs?" and "why treat them as so sacred?" really hit home.

I have long said that this reverence for having a job is rooted in Puritanism. Recently I am wondering if it is more deeply internalized capitalist frames. Graeber's viewpoint is that it is some of both, which I found interesting.

This book was a good companion piece to Chokepoint Capitalism
