Original fantasy graphic novel, first of hopefully a long-running series.

The Nameless City has been conquered serially by outsiders for as long as history remembers. The invaders always pick a new name for it, but for people who live here, the city is nameless, and the need to name it is a sure mark of an outsider. The Dao are the current masters here, and Kaidu has been sent over by his mother to be a part of the new empire. He doesn't fit in with the war-mongering kids that he's training with, but he does find a friend - of sorts - in the city street smart Rat.
Love all the colors of people, and the close look at colonialism and oppression, and the limitations of people in power trying to keep power and perhaps do some good as well.
I'm really looking forward to the second book!
