King City by Brandon Graham
4.0
I haven't read a graphic novel/comic collection in what feels like a long time. This was super fun and fast read.
It definitely privileges world building and aesthetics over plot. It's loose and moves along, but it's really about being immersed in the landscape and learning about the characters relationships.
I borrowed this copy from a friend over a decade ago. He was excited to hear that I was finally sitting down to read it after all this time. He told me how he read an interview with the author where he talked about this comic being his tribute to Moebius. This little fun fact really heightened my enjoyment of the book.
Excited to check out more by this author, and thankful for a reminder about how fun and engaging graphic novels can be.
