A review by captwinghead
Mpls Sound by Joseph Phillip Illidge, Hannibal Tabu
2.0
The art and the concept of this story are great, but nothing really grabbed me.
This recommended on a Pride Month comic rec list and the lead character is a Black queer woman, so there's that. It's certainly more centered around her love of music and her career than really delving into her queerness. Barring the few scenes with her future partner, her queerness isn't really discussed much.
This story follows a band in the 1980s trying to make a name for themselves as the Minneapolis Sound was really taking off. Prince's influence is seen throughout the book and it's said to be a tribute of sorts to the late legendary musician. I wished there was more to grab onto character wise, but this book is mostly vibes, IMO.
