Fantastic! A candid, behind-the-scenes report on Glidden's journey to Turkey, Syria and Iraq together with a team of journalists. The graphic novels depicts their day-to-day on the trip, the interviews they do with locals and refugees, they explore the legacy of the Iraq war while Glidden also explores the nature of journalism. She pictures all the doubts and insecurities of the reporters, their challenges, their ambitions. And while the journalists think they fail in their story of the returning war-veteran, the graphic novel succeeds in telling that part of the story, with all its subtleties and awkward silences.
