An excellent book. Margaret Atwood has made the switch from traditional form novel to graphic novel seamlessly. An interesting plotline with all the superhero background you want, a courageous scientist, a terrible accident and an evil boss. All twinned with Johnny Christmas' wonderful artwork.
I can't recommend this enough.

It's fun when your grandma writes you a silly story about a man who turns into an Angel Catbird. This isn't a literary masterpiece, but I was smiling the whole time I read it and that's worth a lot. And there are some sketches by Margaret Atwood in the back, which of course is the best thing.

Wildly disappointing
Reviewed in the United States on 25 January 2018Verified Purchase
This is an unfortunate disappointment for me. I haven't read much of Atwood, but I'm familiar with her and her significance as an author so I was more than intrigued by the idea of a graphic novel written by her. Well, imagine my disappointment in what she gave us: from her rather self-serving foreword, where in the first paragraph she reminds us that she is “an award-winning nice literary old lady” and then goes on to great lengths about her lifelong interest in comics, to the flat story that is nothing but one overused superhero trope and bad pun after another, to the lackluster art (sorry, but Johnnie Christmas' art just didn't save this enough for me), to the interjected facts about the number of cat and bird deaths in Canada, the US, and the UK that occur each year, I was shocked that this got published. I would assume that had anyone other that Margaret Atwood presented this project, it would have been shot down. This is nothing to me but a vanity project and one that I just can't see myself continuing. The only reason I can't give it 1 star is because it is Margaret Atwood, after all, and it seems sacrilegious to do so.
