That Thing You Fall Into<\/strong> <\/a><\/p>\n

Never, ever tell me that your book was nominated for an Ignatz for best mini! Seriously people, it’s just a good rule of thumb. That way it’s OK for me to not necessarily agree with the nomination and not look like a doofus, or for me to love it and look like a genius. Or maybe it doesn’t make any difference, but I’m having a hard time just reviewing the comic. Deep breath… ah. Anyway, this is a mini about a relationship and trying to figure out where it’s going. Any more from me and I’ll be giving stuff away, so I’ll avoid it. The art is fantastic. She’s a cross-hatching machine, and the sheer amount of time she gives to the backgrounds makes this a pleasure to look at (take note, lazy no-background people). The story is good too. It’s simple and understated, which is necessary for such a short book. Was it one of the best minis of last year? Hell, I don’t know. My initial instinct was no, but then I certainly couldn’t name 4 that were much better. If this sounds like I’m at all down on the book, I’m not, don’t get me wrong. Stupid significantly raised expectations. Check out her website<\/a> or send her an e-mail<\/a>, she sent me some other comics too that I’ll be getting to in the weeks to come, meaning I’ll know a lot more about her style very soon. P.S.: In case you couldn’t tell, my scanner made the sample look like crap. Surprise!<\/p>\n
