minimalist posted:It really was terrible, apart from what little we saw of the villains. The last page in particular could lead somewhere interesting, or it could collapse under a pile of incredible horseshit; too soon to tell but from what I've seen so far, probably the latter. Man, if only there was an explanation in the text as to why Casey might have a nonchalant attitude towards extremely weird and gruesome things happening to people in her vicinity. (There is. That whole thing about her mother flying into the sun, and her prom date turning into, and I'm gonna directly quote the book here, "a pool of lavender membrane". Pages 5 and 6.) Then there's the way the Casey pages put an extra emphasis on onomatopeia, which might clue you in to the fact Way, Derrington, Bonvillain and letterer Todd Klein are deliberately playing up the comic-book artificiality of what's happening, so as to highlight that something is off about this world. If you're not gonna pay attention, if you're not gonna engage with the book, it might not be the thing for you. To dismiss what's there as "wacky dumb bullshit" is missing a lot of what makes that issue good. PS: My Chemical Romance is about as sincere a band as there ever was. "I'm Not Okay (I Promise" is meant to be taken absolutely seriously. It's melodramatic, for sure, but, it's entirely earnest.
