DNF. Sad and too scary for me but I can see someone really liking it.

Shiny exploitation and what I wish was all over the top terribleness surrounds El Campo. The pages are bright and very busy, suiting the wildness well. Sometimes it’s funny, and sometimes depressing. Sammie is an interesting, easy to root for protagonist- it’s somewhat difficult to read because the awkward “in-between” non-acceptance is so clearly communicated. There’s less horror than I was expecting, but the sense of something being wrong is still clear. I liked the book’s ending connection, as well as the background details.

One of the best adult graphic novels I've read in a while. Artwork was great, but this one's really about the story and dialogue. Funny and totally heartfelt.
