I arrived this evening at my college dorm, where I am writing from. On the bus ride to university, I read the comic book "The Imitation Game," based, of course, on the British mathematician Alan Turing. 

The book was readable and easy to follow. I appreciated the integration of basic mathematical theory and history in addition to the storyline into the comic; I felt that this provoked thought in the reader. At the same time, not understanding the mathematical theory presented didn't seem to preclude understanding the plot. The story was presented in a lighthearted and straightforward manner, as comics often are. There was plenty of situational humor and entertaining narrative detail. However, the book seemed devoid of much drama or conflict, unlike most novels I read. Overall, I'd say the book does a good job of chronicling the life events of Alan Turing, as it claims to do.
