The Nobody by Jeff Lemire
3.0
I'm not in love with Lemire's illustration style. I've read several of his GNs, and there's something about the angularity of his drawing that feels a little unfriendly to me. It certainly communicates the story sufficiently, and is even aesthetically pleasing a lot of the time.
Anyway, this is the story of a mysterious man, covered in bandages, who shows up in a small town and confounds the inhabitants. I like that Lemire kept the big reveal mysterious for most of the story, and the reactions of the people seem realistic. I wasn't enraptured, but I never thought about putting it down.
