Boxers & Saints - Wow ... I vaguely remember learning about the Boxer Rebellion in high school, but this pair of graphic novels definitely brought the conflict to life and made me sympathize with both sides. I liked the way they dovetailed in telling the "same" story, but also getting different information when you read each book. I definitely think both need to be read to get the full effect. I began by reading the first two chapters of Saints (it was smaller, so I stuck it in my bag to read during my lunch break), but then I wondered if I should read Boxers since it was listed first, so then I began reading that and realized that some characters "crossed over" ... I ended up reading about a quarter or a third of Boxers, then finished out Saints (oops?), and then completed Boxers. 
 3 1/2 stars.
