Astro City, Vol. 12: Lovers Quarrel by Alex Ross, Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson
4.0
I really loved the look at Quarrel- she was one of the characters I'd been hoping to hear more about for a long time, and this book did not disappoint. I loved the exploration of aging heroes (particularly those without powers) and the choices they are forced to make. One of the things I love most about Astro City is the way it explores what it might really be like to live in a world of superheroes, and all the different points of view we visit as part of this exploration. I love the way time actually passes and things change.
I was less interested in the section about Sticks, but I've never cared much about super-intelligent ape characters, good or bad, and the story itself just didn't quite hook me in. However, it wasn't badly written- just not of much interest to me- and it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the Quarrel story.
