Drawn & Quarterly: Twenty-five Years of Contemporary Cartooning, Comics, and Graphic Novels by Tom Devlin
2.0
A perfect example of how the contemporary comics scene has exploded and expanded into a large and multifaceted movement, and yet most of it is disgusting trash and inanely self-absorbed memoir.
The comic as an art form could be the vehicle for incredible storytelling. I can't wait until the medium grows out of this memoir and surrealist phase.
There are a few gems in here, to be fair, but they are vastly outnumbered by drivel and garbage.
I don't often post negative reviews on Goodreads, but I have been frustrated with comics for years, wishing that the movement would take a turn for the better. I'm still hoping for positive change.
