You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
May 31, 2023Once again, Higgins and Clark have nailed a very sharp story that manages to resonate even though its telling the type of artists journey that has been delivered to page, stage, and screen countless times before. The distinct package thats being delivered by Higgins and Clark feels quite refreshingly unlike anything else thats currently on the comics rack. Read Full Review

Gorgeous to look at, fun to read. One of those "comic books" that convince you they can be a real legitimate art form.

Another really good issue. This had a much different feel, but still had a lot of soul. It's just really well written. Great work by everyone involved.

This story felt so grounded. Painterly in style but also cinematic. Musicians will absolutely love this. I'm not one but I wish I was. I'll have to try and listen to the sheet music given at the end. The ending is kinds brutal but frank. A kind of twisting of fates but a harrowing reminder of what so often happens to artists. Theres a silver lining, but it has to be imagined more than seen. You won't get a comic that looks like this. Its a very unique style brought by the combined efforts of artist Helena Masellis, making a rare but welcomed appearance on interiors, and the colorist Igor Monti. Their two artistic choices combine to make a truly unique looking book that is both bursting with life but restrained and vignette like. more
