A raw look at someone's rage and pain splayed out on paper. Art can be very 80s at times, but then again, the pain is real, so the time was the time. "Ou sont les neiges d'anton?" Villon

The art is the driving point of admiration in this novel, and it carries a compelling narrative… but it’s definitely a story of its time. The “bad guys” are all stereotyped POCs, and the lost fiancé is objectified constantly. The main character is edgy to the point of comedy at some points. However, it was an extremely enjoyable read, and conveys a complex message about grief. And again, the art, which was all hand-drawn (even the words, which gives an even more intimate experience) was gorgeous. It’s an influential novel and is worth the read; it’s just important to keep the era in mind.

The creator refers to the speech pattern of the main character as klang association. That could easily describe the entire book. Oozing with a gothic vibe. Riding the rails of a simple revenge narrative. Little substance but a ton of flash.
You can see what inspired the movie. There are plenty of pages that you could stare at for hours. They're dense with details. All in all an intense experience.

Everything I hope it would be. Moving, vicaral, poetic.
You can really feel the passion, and pain that went into every cell. Beautiful in its horror.
Not a bad choice for my first graphic novel.
