I don't like to stray from my comfort zone formed by the works of Mark Millar, Robert Kirkman and Brian Bendis, but in this case, I'm kinda glad I did.
A kid is given cancer by one of his parents (read it to find the why and the how). The art delves into the intrinsic nature of the kid's abuse (which gets worse) and his hope to escape from the trauma. A great example of how art can be used to tell a story in a way at which other means, like simple narrative, would seem cliched or pedestrian. In any case, not nearly as powerful.
Terrifying. Heartbreaking. Haunting. All the superlatives apply here.
