Celestia is a thoughtful, beautiful graphic novel. The
book features striking, haunting visuals. ... With a prevailing
aura of mystery, the story is rich, satisfying, and complex.--
"Foreword Reviews (starred review)"
Celestia immerses the reader in an ethereal dreamscape of
ever-present villains, mindreaders and lovers.-- "Broken
Frontier"
Celestia is a revelation and one of the best books I've
read this year. Manuele Fior's expressive and beautifully human
artwork brings the ancient city of Celestia and its many
fascinating residents to life in ways that will stay with you long
after you've finished the book.--Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth)
