Wow, this is deep. I purchased a digital copy, it deserves a physical print. I had not expected how great this piece of work is.

This is a graphic novel, but as the intro says, that description doesn't quite do it justice. It's a beautiful combination of both art and words into something greater than the sum. The words provide context, but its the images that provides the life. The art in turn provide colours to the words, given them a deeper meaning.

It tells the tale of a dying man, diagnosed with a tumour, and how he chose to spend his remaining time. But that's just the surface. Look deeper, and it's about that man's legacy, what he leaves behind. Just like this Signal to Noise - you can take what it is on the surface, or you can look deeper - noise or signal.

It's hard to describe without spoiling things for the reader. It needs to be read, not reviewed.
