Re-Gifters by Sonny Liew, Marc Hempel, Mike Carey
4.0
I have no real excuse for reading a little graphic novel from a failed line aimed at teenage girls, except that I liked My Faith in Frankie by this same team when they were doing it at Vertigo, and having a basically theoretical interest in martial arts. But it wound up being just as charming as MFiF was, though without the Vertigo bite or supernatural edge. Sonny Liew is a brilliant cartoonist, and I wish I had more of his work readily available.
Make no mistake, it's a young adult story with less edge than a John Hughes movie, but it's well done for what it is. It's honestly a shame that the Minx line collapsed so utterly, I'd brave the YA section of the library again for a chance to read more of this from Carey and Liew.
