Snotgirl, Volume 2: California Screaming by Bryan Lee O'Malley, Leslie Hung
3.0
I was so excited with what O’Malley had accomplished with Snotgirl v. 1, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this second volume. Maybe I had too high of expectations, because this volume deflated most of that excitement by the end of it. The writing was still top tier and the characters have finally seemed to settle in for the ride, but I feel like the world and cast development is farther along than the plot itself. There is so many interesting things happening with our MCs, but no story to truly spotlight it. There is no clear vision, it seems.
The comic is funny as heck, clever and made entirely of satire, and while I was reading I enjoyed every bit of it. But by the end I had more questions than answers, and slight frustration with pacing. I just want to know what’s going on! (It has a very Morning Glories feel to me). Nothing is ever quite clear, but I Hope volume 3 finally gives us what we’re waiting for.
