“The follow-up to Persepolis 1 marks a change of tone, as Marjane is now a teenager trying to cope with isolation and identity in Austria. This part is definitely more grown-up in tone; more intimate, as we move from a child's view of war and revolution, to a young woman trying to find herself in the Western World.
Marjane is very honest, sometimes brutally so, and her tale is made all the more powerful for it. She's not perfect, and she makes huge mistakes sometimes, but this makes her journey all the more heart-wrenching and meaningful. Taken as a whole, Persepolis is a series about identity and alienation in a world gone bad. A very important and poignant comic.”
