I had no idea how edgy this series was. There are some gems in there, but the scripts, at least in this first collection, just did not compel me. Also genuinely shocking how frequently sexual violence shows up here. I don’t think it’s as as bad as some other comics to come from the ‘90s, but my biggest impression is that I don’t get the hype. Maybe it’s just not for me. I am the least excited about it in my reading group, but none of us are singing its praises. Maybe it gets better! I will probably not find out.
