review 1: There's a lot to like in this book. I guess my favourite thing about it was the pacing and the play between the text and the art. The author definitely has a good understanding of how words and drawings go together in a comicbook. I enjoyed the simple art style for the most part, but there were some panels that seemed a bit lazy - perhaps with stylistic intent, but I feel like they could have been refined.The story is about a couple lost teenagers going on a disastrous road-trip (or hometown runaway). I usually read this type of story pretending that its a depiction of the teenage will, or mentality, and not literally. To the two teens, everyone is the bad guy.I'd recommend this for a nice read. I think its an excellent example of the power of this medium - even if the sto... morery didn't resonant with me.
review 2: This book is good. It stars a yucky little jerk and his dishrag girlfriend and their unkind adventures a la if Mickey and Mallory were homely, disaffected teens. The look is super drawin-in-yr-notebook-in-math-class plain jane, keeping the brutal storyline close-to-the-bone. There's a devil worshipper who if you wondered what Lucy van Pelt might grow up to look like if she aged lonely in Utah or some shit, there you go. This sounds like a kind of pissy dismal review but it's a pissy dismal story, what are you gonna do. I'd keep reading if the story kept going. I like it. It's written pretty beautifully, and the dialogue rings true. less
