the pundits say that what separates a great craftsman from their peers is an ability to select the right word, the quintessential detail, the lowest common denominator of any given moment to paint an image to their audience. in the first thirty pages of this graphic novel you are swept from a bath house of the roman empire to the war-torn streets of a 1940's europe. thirty pages! and what's more, in this first thirty pages there's an equal number of words ushering one along this timeline.

the imagery in 2 sisters seizes the reader while the underlying mystery compels them forward. it becomes immediately apparent that kindt has a unique gift for both sides of the page, the artistic rendering as well as the story's composition. in fact, the sophistication of the story makes me rethink my position on the comic genre. for many, the 'funnybook' industry's depth matched the characters it accommodated (think archie and jughead). pieces like 2 sisters, and others like it, will continue to challenge this mainstream consideration.
