Rummblestrips #1

Looks like I picked a good book to read first from the Mid-Ohio Con pile. I don’t really know what this book is about yet. Almost everything is left a mystery, with this book basically introducing the two main characters (I’m guessing here) with no real word of who they are, what they’re doing and what’s going on. And you know what? I loved it! The vast majority of the book was spent inside Rummble’s apartment with her talking with the other, um, “person” on the cover, Crash. I don’t know if she was kidding or not but she mentions on the back cover that she’s going to be doing this for #100 issues or so, and I’m fascinated so far. The dialogue is witty and real, the art is great, and I’m more than willing to take the long, slow journey to see what’s going on here. Although, honestly, I’d be happy just reading the characters talking. I read almost the entire thing thinking that there wasn’t any real background story and I was still happy. Visit her website, check out what there is to see.
