Coming Back, by Jessi Zabarsky

An f/f fantasy romance graphic novel, with lovely art in limited palettes. I found it difficult to follow in places, especially in the parts where it's light on words and dialogue. Its ending is also pretty didactic; it's definitely something along the lines of a parable, with an intended meaning to take from it. But there were parts that were definitely touching and powerful nonetheless. I think for people who have stronger abilities than me at reading visuals, this could be a worthwhile read.

I have such a hard time with low-text graphic novels. I often feel like I'm just not literate enough in the language of sequential art to understand it unless there's a significant amount of writing to keep me on track.

yes exactly! I feel like I need to have been taught how to read it, like I was taught to read words, but it's not really something that gets taught. you just are supposed to pick up on it.
