I
found myself smiling and shaking my head over how clever this series
is after reading the second trade paperback in the series. This reads
like a television series, with each issue being an episode while
building into an overall narrative like American Horror Story.
Like that series, things are dropped at the end every time that seem
to up the stakes, making you hope that they have the road mapped out
or else the wreckage will be gruesome.
It's difficult for me to comment on exactly what I liked about this because pretty much everything will be a reveal. Since this blog is more about the joy of discovery for you and me rather than one of those glorified synopsis review type blogs, I'll say no more. Just buy it! Trust me...
Junk Food For Thought rating: 4.5 out of 5.
The
OCD zone- Image makes good quality trade paperbacks.
DVD-style
Extras included in this book: Two pages of
character sketches.
Paper
rating: 4.5 out of 5. This book has a nice thick coated stock
paper.
Binding
rating: 4 out of 5. Glued binding.
Cardstock
cover coating rating: 4.25 out of 5. The cardstock has a dull
matte finish coating which has a very different feel to it. I like
it. It is not as easily scuffable as many dull matte/ coated
cardstock covers. It's not my preference (I prefer laminated
cardstock cover) but it seems durable enough.
