review 1: Aw, man. Again with the Ivan Brunetti (who I haven't read, but Lynda Barry talks about sometimes) influence. Also, emooooo romance junkkkk. But dude, so well done -- a man looking out the window misses his wife levitating in the air, split into 16 pieces, reassemble self and float back down into the bed -- Just think about the simplest and most breathtaking way that can be communicated. And he does it! So nice. Also -- one of the best/simplest/most effective representations of the ubiquitousness of personal demons/ghosts in the dark corners of our everyday lives. Actual wiggly spooky little shadow creatures! I dunno. I just really liked it. It was beautiful, and sad, and what else do you need.
review 2: This debut graphic novella from Luke Pearson was great. It... more was extremely emotional at some points and really sad, but I found it ultimately refreshing because the narrative progresses without losing perspective of the greater picture, and I thought that was really nice. It doesn't happen in comics too often, and I think that is part of what made this little book so great. The shadowy figures, voyeuristic insects, and emotional turmoil also kept me pretty hooked. less
