(Amazon description) DAYTRIPPER follows the life of one man, Bras de Olivias Dominguez. Every chapter features an important period in Bras’ life in exotic Brazil, and each story ends the same way: with his death. And then, the following story starts up at a different point in his life, oblivious to his death in the previous issue – and then also ends with him dying again. In every chapter, Bras dies at different moments in his life, as the story follows him through his entire existence – one filled with possibilities of happiness and sorrow, good and bad, love and loneliness. Each issue rediscovers the many varieties of daily life, in a story about living life to its fullest – because any of us can die at any moment.
COMIC REVOLUTION RATING BREAKDOWN
STORY: A+
Writing obituaries for the local Brazilian newspaper, we witness the life and death of Bras de Oliva Domingos in different stages of a life. We follow him through various moments from a first kiss, becoming a successful novelist, falling in love and experiencing heartbreak but also death that is a big part of life as well.

ART: A
The art is simply gorgeous and compliments the written word beautifully enough that sometimes a panel with the art alone speaks volumes of what the character is thinking and feeling. We’ve seen the twins’ work before and they still do not fail to impress.

OVERALL: A+
There are graphic novels that speak of what it is to be human and then there are graphic novels like Daytripper that celebrate our humanity as well as our very existence. This is the story of life and death but mainly the little things that make up one particular person’s life. In other words, Daytripper is a graphic novel that will speak to you and make you feel and that’s what makes this such a masterpiece.
