Feathers by Jorge Corona
4.0
Fantastic opening volume to this story. I like the characters and there is enough mystery to keep me wanting more, but it made sense. I still don't really understand what was happening with the villain and the feathers at the end. The rest of the story worked.
Feathers is a boy who has feathers like a boy. He lives up in the towers of a city hidden by his pop. He doesn't know who his real parents are. A girl runs away from the prosperous part of the city and meets feathers. She helps him get find his way into the world. The orphans of the maze of the poor city are filled with kids called mice. Feathers is trying to help them and they think he is a scary ghost.
I thought the art was fantastic. Someone else made the comparison and it's true, this is a weird take on the Hunchback of Notre Dame, which I loved as a kid. I want to know more and I hope this volume continues. It is refreshing to find a story that is new and different and well done.
