This was an interesting, weird, abrasive graphic novel. It's basically a send-up of the Millennial-Gen Z generation gap, as well as the modern art world. The satire is razor-sharp, and the visual style is stripped-down but has a ton of personality. My biggest complaint was that the characters are basically caricatures, a stereotypical whirl of angst, neuroses, and self-destruction. Some moments let more of their humanity shine through, but I found these a little too rare. Overall, it's a good book, but I was a little underwhelmed.

I always love reading about Wendy and his alcohol-fueled travails. As I've gotten older, I see myself more in the tired-eye friends Wendy surrounds herself with as they navigate being older, less aloof, and needing to get their shit together. Harrowing and hilarious, it's hard to say goodbye to Wendy but I hope she finds a better apartment, a better job, an excellent lover, and inspirations soon...

I'm a Wendy head, but this installment wasn't my favorite! Scott gives us a peek into characters' inner selves more than usual via the thought bubble, and I thought this strategy stepped on some punchlines. Still luv that crazy bitch, tho. The Screamo plotlines were a highlight.
