drawings: don't love black n white, messy at times imo
parts: the part where he throws the dart at random and it lands where he is and where he's sposed to be, the part where they decide to be a family together, the part where she puts on his jacket to try and feel like what it would really be like to be his girl, that made me especially sad cause it was me
mary recommended and let me borrow and asked me to read it
i love her, so i think i loved it more because of that
it was pretty, and raw, and sweet and times and really sad because it made me miss being in love and being held and fuck
it was nice i liked it

I really like Pope's work. This one is very slice of life, of various characters. I wish it were in color, I feel like his forms work really well in color, but otherwise I dig it.

Though set in ~2038, the sci-fi elements are virtually non-existent. Nevertheless, interesting relationship drama and effective onomatopoeia for conveying situation and atmosphere.

3 1/2 really. Liked it more once I read Pope's ending essay describing his intent.

Paul Pope....there really isn't that much to be said about this guy. He got nominated for Eisner, worked for big guys like DC and indies like Dark Horse, grew up in America, his landscapes are typically American and his characters reek of Tarantino. Pope's drawings, on the other hand, is unconventional for mainstream comics. There's a heavy, beastly quality to the inkling and the lines are so messy it's similar to lino prints. Most of the time it feels like I'm reading individual art panels rather than illustrations. The writing is mediocre but the art is definitely beyond mere narrative.

Some great, bittersweet stuff. Pope's layouts and linework is absolutely gorgeous, and his characters are well-depicted, in every sense. Definitely worth checking out.

A film in comic book form. It's about art, fear, love, connection, distance, desire, being in your own skin and your own life. OWNING your life. It's just awesome.

Great film vibe throughout -- mapped out a world for itself and did so in bold strokes.
