Johnny Bacardi reads Blankets. The art–all that snow, all those trees, Raina in her Eskimo coat–really is fantastic, and I’ll get behind the Eisner-influence claim. It’s the baggy curviness, or curvaceous bagginess, of the thick confident black lines. My less-positive and very personal review is here. Jim Henley’s even less positive one is here. Also, I don’t buy this whole “soulmate” idea; the end of the relationship with Raina made a lot of sense given that these people are in, you know, high school.

Will be adding Syria Comment and Across the Bay to the blogroll, per Hit & Run‘s recommendation.
