Week 11 - Reading Diary B

This covers the second section of Ramayana: 3392 AD.

Ramayana: 3393 AD

Again I am really enjoying this graphic novel. This section begins with Lakshman running into an ancient seer named Vishwamitra. Vishwamitra is looking for Rama and Lakshman ends up helping Vishwamitra find him. They end up finding him far off in another land and head towards a place where rakshasas are looking for a special place.
The things that stand out to me in this graphic novel are the illustrations and the retelling of this story in the futuristic dystopian setting. The illustrations are very colorful and they constantly show the bad places showing a very contrasting color compared to Rama who represents purity and dharma. The good places tend to be green and blue and far more fitting in with Rama. The futuristic technologies and dystopian setting make this retelling gritty which I like and it fits perfectly with this story.

I’m looking forward to the second half of this book!
