Comics Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks
2.0
I received this eARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Miriam is the granddaughter of a comic book legacy. Her grandfather was one of the original creators of one of the most famous superheroes. However, he lost the rights and the money to this dynasty, when he was bought out by his partner. Miriam live a quiet life in their Canadian town. Even though her family doesn’t have access to the superhero world, Miriam loves it and works at the local comic shop. While working, a cute tourist stops by and purchases one of her mother’s pieces of art. Miriam is not impressed by this obvious rich boy, but he is super cute. As the two get drawn further and further together, they find that their families have a very tumultuous past…think Romeo and Juliet for comic book geeks. Is it possible for them to have a relationship, or even a friendship?
I wish that there had been a multimedia component of this book, like chapter vignettes with comics. Overall it was an interesting book.
