Title: Excellent story told in a very different format.
Review: This comic book formatted fantasy myth is based on sun phases that make summer and winter solistice. The Kurds, an ancient people who dwell in darkness, allowed humans to occupy their island (New York) if their power (housed in something small, like a token) is returned by 12/21 (winter solistice) so that days can become longer. The Kurds hide it again every year on 6/21 (summer solistice) so that days can become shorter. If the power is not returned by 12/21, total darkness will prevail. Move that idea through several generations to modern day, and you've got a very interesting story. It sounds confusing and bizarre, but Avi makes it work. His versatality astounds me.
