Coovert, JP – Moving Forward
Moving Forward
No, the whole comic doesn’t look like that, if you were curious. I do like the cover though, it sums up the feeling of the comic pretty well. This is another shortie from JP about driving, thinking, and holding out hope for the thinking 1% of the population. Or at least that’s what I read into it, but I’m just some schmuck with a website. It’s a combination of two different prose pieces combined with images, so the writing has a very lyrical quality to it. There’s a tiny glimmer of hope here for the world, which is always nice to see in a comic. Contact info is up there, I’d say this is $2 if I had to guess…

Jp is one of those guys where I always feel like I’m cheating writing a review. His books (that I’ve seen so far) are short, quick poems adapted into comic form, and I’m just not that big of a fan of taking something line by line and analyzing the hell out of it. So all you get here is my rambling, but what’s new about that? This one is about reaching for something better and possibly failing while nobody even knows that you tried. Like I said, not much more to be said about it than that. This is $1, contact info is up there…

Hey, that’s how it’s listed on their website, so that’s what I’m going to call it. I think there are other minis with covers of different colors, so it’s sort of like a series that’s not connected in any way. Or maybe it is, I haven’t gotten to the other issues yet. This one is all about a young man ruminating on how it’s always easier to go up. He tries to play his piano becuase it seems to bring him peace but that bothers his neighbor, so he’s forced to go watch television. It’s a quiet book about making the choices that are best for you. And maybe about how stupid tv is, but maybe I’m reading too much into it. It’s a shortie but an interesing concept. $2, I already linked the website once but I’m feeling generous, so there you go again.
