3/5 - soft pick
Really liked the illustration style of this graphic novel. Numerous themes are present: mental illness, alcoholism, fantasy vs reality, friendship, love, etc. Two narrators, the creator of the movie, and one of the actress in this small, amateur production. We follow how this movie is made, the tensions between several characters.
Interesting read, destabilizing at times.

2.5/5 - soft so-so
While the world building is good, and this book shows a lot of creativity, it just didn't work for me. I just didn't click with it... It happens.
It's a book about healing, about friendship. It took me a while to read, I found some episodes long/not as interesting.
I like how the author played with the fonts.

Good title.

Christmas puzzle for this year

A very honest and moving graphica memoir about the death of Feder's mother when she was just 18. The format is perfect for her expression of so many hard, complicated emotions; I'm lucky enough to still have my mother, but I sobbed like a baby. There are also plenty of moments of wry humor, as Feder imagines her mother's reactions to the events after her death. A fantastic exploration of love, grief and survival.

This reminded me of a very dear friend, an excellent listener and advisor, who told me that the stages of grief aren't linear, but come and go. It helped a lot, especially when we lost him.

106/100 I finished this a couple of days ago, but forgot to post a review. If you like dark stories, full of deception, violence, and government conspiracies, this is the graphic novel for you. Tom King always finds new ways to look at a character, and here Rorschach is more an idea than a person. I liked the artwork, it matched the story's dark and gritty nature. 4/5 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

I find Kirkman's writing grating and am low key allergic to Ottley's art style, BUT Battle Beast is an iconic character (nvm that he's just an excuse to concoct crazy action sequences) and his quest of self-annihilation is entertaining.
