review 1: This story had a concept that sounds cool. A pretty blonde girl develops mysterious green powers, a trait shared by the other women in her family. The story has a beginning, middle, and end, but what happens is so unremarkable, you're liable to forget it in a day. The main girl is your typical granola girl, doesn't eat meat, loves the trees, hates the establishment, particularly the war in Iraq, which is a world away since the setting is small town California. Unfortunately, it's obvious that Neil Young is less interested in telling a story than he is about venting about his political beliefs through the nubile Miss Green. Seriously, her family name is Green. While I agree with some of what she (and Neil Young, by extension), her words come off as ham fisted, though she's ... moretreated as some great revolutionary. There's also a villain, but he doesn't really seem to do anything; it's not really clear. He's pretty forgettable except for his outfit. I will say that Cliff Chiang's art is as good as it ever is, but it won't redeem Greendale.
review 2: Hace relativamente poco me propuse no leer obras adaptadas (o ver, en el caso de películas o dibujitos) sin reparar antes en la versión original. Y en este caso, como ya hice cientos de veces en mi vida, rompí la regla para leerme esta adaptación (de una película, que a su vez está basada en un disco conceptual de Neil Young, de quien recuerdo haber escuchado poco y nada) porque el dibujo me resultaba muy bonito y el título llamativo. No estuvo mal, pero me quedó alguna sensación de "algo me estoy perdiendo". Espero poder releerlo cuando sepa algo más de la obra original y con la música que originó todo como soundtrack. Y, obviamente, entonces rerreseñaré el comic y voy a reparar mejor en sus virtudes y defectos y blablablá... hace horas que debería estar durmiendo :S less
