The Property
by Rutu Modan, Jessica Cohen
The Property is probably my favorite so far by Rutu Modan. Good, twisting plot, memorable and hilarious characters, and a setting rendered beautiful and melancholy by the colors and lines. Panel structure is used effectively for many plot elements to take place brilliantly, like the parallel phone call scene. Various languages are dealt with in a simple and effective way that doesn't take away from the story. The lettering is pleasing to the eye, both in upper and lowercase. As always, I like that Modan's characters are real; they are not always extremely likable or easy to understand, and they have their faults and virtues. The story is a very sad one at the core, but there is also abundant humor, mainly due to the antics of the grandmother and the lover of Mica's aunt.
Recommended for those who like Polish food, old photos, Sweden in the summer, and comic book artists.
