Tune

review 1: Derek Kirk Kim is a great comic artist. I really enjoy his writing: the pacing is always great, and the dialogue is witty. And his art really fits the stories he writes (and in the future books of the Tune series, Les McClaine draws them instead, and matches Kim's style almost perfectly). My only complaint would be with the layout; it's really distracting that the panels are arranged differently on each page, against a black w/stars background.
review 2: Tune is a delight in part due to the creative, unusual and entertaining formatting. White panels on a dark page that = strong readability and the slow unwinding of the story, strong character development & arch, and protagonist Andy's hyperbolic parents are both satisfying and a hoot! I especially enjoyed ho... morew Kim plays with convention & archetype (see: those mysterious folk on the back jacket of the novel). After reading many recent graphic novels by Asian American authors that have been much lauded but didn't work for me, I finally feel I've found a perfect fit. Just ordered book #2 through my library! less
