The Li'l Depressed Boy, Volume 1: She Is Staggering by S. Steven Struble, Sina Grace

1.0

Picked this up on sale at my local comic shop based off the design of LDB. The art in this book is great and some of the layouts in this volume were actually pretty impressive. However, the writing was overall pretty poor. The dialogue ranges from quality to passable to straight up cringe and the pacing of the story is down right awful. Characters just pop up and pop out of the story with no explanation or introduction and everyone but LDB is annoying and poorly written. The book tries hard to be quirky and is chock full of pop culture references that don’t land. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this book and I’m likely not going to pick up the other volumes.

2/10
