If there were any skeptics in America who doubted the importance of understanding our constitution, 2020 is the year that put those doubts to bed. This historical document and its many amendments remain at the center of our politics, providing both the systems, rights, and philosophy that guides an incredibly complex federal system. R. Sikoryak, master of the comics pastiche who previously rendered dozens of different styles to lay bare Apple’s onerous terms and conditions, now brings his multifaceted eye to this seminal text. Every page delivers a new segment of the US Constitution with a new style that delivers a subtle commentary and entertaining edge when parsing the often-dense text. Sikoryak summons everything from modern hits like Rick and Morty and Adventure Time to comics’ classics like Bone and Krazy Kat in order to provide a consistently stimulating experience to accompany this pocket-sized production of a truly essential document. It’s proof that comics can make just about everything a little bit better. -- Chase Magnett
