It ranks as one of the very best graphic novels of recent years. With incisive political awareness, Vaughan uses this compelling conceit to raise questions about the nature of freedom and the bitter ironies of this controversial war ("This isn't right... Freedom can't be given, only earned", as one lion grimly comments). Niko Henrichon provides the lavish artwork which imbues the epic panoramas of urban devastation with an odd beauty and the feline trio with an affecting emotional depth.
