#StripoviTokomIzolacije

Image Comics (https://imagecomics.com/comics/read-first-issues) sada nude besplatno čitanje prvih izdanja nekih od njihovih stripova. Kako nemam pametnija posla trenutno, izabrala sam 20 stripova po vrlo jasnom kriterijumu zvanom "dopala mi se naslovna".

Ovo je bilo simpatično. Xoo (da, to joj je ime) je kuvar u porodičnom restoranu. Nije punoletna, pa ne bi smela da radi, ali kako su joj roditelji u kolicima, nema drugog izbora. Dolazi joj stric čiji je zadatak da joj pomaže u kuhinji. U pozadini se odvija nešto čudno, što pretpostavljam biva otkriveno u narednim brojevima.

Crtež je presladak i podseća na Mijazakijeve filmove.

This is officially one of the coolest comics that I have ever read solely because it has a CULINARY CONSULTANT as part of the creative team! They create a world where food is a part of the story-although we aren’t there yet because this is only the first issue! So far, we know that the main character, Xoo, has two disabled parents and she runs their restaurant with her talking dog. Her uncle has come to live with them as her caregiver because the state says that she can’t run a restaurant as an underage and undocumented chef. This was a recommendation from Austin Books and Comics that I’m glad I purchased! I expect big things from this comic! :)

Completely surprised at how much I enjoyed this. The art style is quite different from most titles published by Image and the story seems really rich (I love food-driven plots). I also really liked the end part where each author/artist was credited, kind of like how movie credits would play.

Definitely a series that will have me anxiously awaiting the next issue.

While all the world building questions are not answered in the first issue, the premise is intriguing. The characters interesting. The humor is good.
