5.0

The leftovers from Jimmy Corrigan are somehow still some of the best writing I've seen in a comic book, that's how good it is.

Only, these are not leftovers, they are... a collection of sketches with the eponymous character from before Chris Ware decided to tell his magnus opus, which I believe was published in this collection, but later on. For now, only some of the pages of the ending here appear in Jimmy Corrigan.

It's brilliant, but leaning a bit more on the abstract for the most part.
