I didn't think I would like this book, but the more I read, the more I realized what a gem this book is. We all want to change our current life, we all wish we can erase some stuff and start over. Well, this book shows you what happens if you could. In the end, you realize what you had before is actually good enough. We all have the means to change it without rewriting the world.
A nivel de dibujo está muy tierno y con un estilo muy especial que llega a entregar toda la escencia de la historia sin llegar a aburrir en ningún momento. En generla la historia me dejó muy llena
Moral of the story: Magic mushrooms wont solve your quarter life crisis. So when a skeletal band show up at you workplace you'll only have your self-induced existential crisis to blame.
Seconds is something like a contemporary fable. A fable about selfishness, desperation and wanting more. About the dislocation that comes from not owning your actions and decisions by choosing to indulge by living in your never-weres. And ultimately it is about consequences, in their many guises.
Katie, our petulant adult-child protagonist, is dispirited by the loss of her blithe lifestyle and obstacles that stand in the way of having it again. Her pursuit of happiness goes from careless to desperate as she makes herself willfully blind to the damage and consequences that ripple out around her, and eventually turn back to engulf her. O'Malley gives us a great story, what begins as fun and frivolous soon become dark and revealing with uncomfortable truths.
O'Malley's continues to offer an attractive illustration style. He shows a wonderful ability to offer panels with a clean, clear style that offers both an inviting fun simplicity with complexity and detail that draws you further in. His illustrations are bought further to life when coupled with colour, which breathes vibrancy and spirit into their already animated lines. Story aside, it is a beautiful book to visually explore.

Usually I don't like graphic novels, but this was great.
4.5 - I actually adored this! The art was fantastic, the story was great and I couldn't put it down. I hope this book gets all the praise it deserves. Not being a Scott Pilgrim fan myself, I can say that this totally won me over and for those who did love SP, this is quite the comeback. A must read for comic lovers this year :).
Si el hubiera existiera habría muchos finales que quizá ya existieron. Ese es el problema de ser alguien distinto cada día, ¿qué le pasó al tú de ayer?
