This week I reviewed the fabulously funny Adulthood is a Myth: A Sarah's Scribbles Collection (UK - US.) If you want to check out my review then just click here.
Single Issues
The artwork is certainly distinctive - but I'm actually not sure whether I liked it or not. It was kind of realistic - and kind of unrealistic.
Am I making any sense?
Let's put it this way: it was realistic in terms of depth and the feeling of there being 3 dimensions in this world. It was unrealistic in that there didn't seem to be enough variation in skin-tone, shadow, etc. - and that slightly freaked me out.
It was like just off real life - which I tend to find unnerving. But I'm sure a lot of people would actually really like this style - and I can't deny the skill it takes to pull this off. It just wasn't quite my cup of tea.
I also thought there was a touch too much exposition (check me out with my fancy words!)
But I did like the whole: what counts as good? What's bad? How do you change the world? ethical questions deal-y.
So, yeah, an interesting read - but one that I've got mixed feelings about; still, pretty damn good.
