| Krishna, Defender of Dharma source |
Immediately, one of the things that stood out to me was right on the first page of the second section. Young Krishna's mother saw that he was chewing on something. When she looked into his mouth she saw the universe. This stuck out to me because it helps to illustrate that Krishna is no ordinary boy. Most of this second section is about Krishna's exploits during his adolescence while living in Vrinadavan. He and his brother Balarama are constantly attacked by Kansa's assassins but they come out victorious every single time. Eventually, the two brothers go to a wrestling competition in Mathura and because very famous. In doing so they gain the attention of Kansa who calls them out and challenges them. Krishna uses this moment to strike out at Kansa and kill him, fulfilling a prophesy about his death. Krishna and Balarama end up being deified because of this.
I enjoyed this section as it details Krishna's exploits and victories of evil. I look forward to reading the second half of this graphic novel.
