Nick Drnaso's Sabrina is lauded for its stark, minimalist art and its powerful depiction of modern isolation and paranoia. Critics praise its unsettling narrative and social commentary. However, some find the storytelling detached and emotionally distant. The graphic novel's strength lies in its ability to provoke thought about media influence and personal connections.
