Mother, Come Home is unlike any other graphic novel you’ve read. No superheros, no tights, and serious as suicide, which is what the book is about. Meet Thomas. His Mother died. Taking it the hardest, however, is his Father. His Father has been figuratively and literally floating through life.

After Father is institutionalized, Thomas goes to live with his Uncle. As the story progresses, I think, readers will be overcome by growth and realization of Thomas. By the end you are so invested in the child that his actions are almost your actions, and you will feel…terrible if nothing else. Not a feel good book, but very well done. Paul Hornschemeier is graphic novelist out of Chicago. This is his first work, he has since published two more. He is a weird cat, but I like that.

This is Paul.
