Trailers is a rare 1 star from me as I didn't care for this at all. I blasted through it on a lunch break at work or I wound't have finished it. Kind of a ridiculously overwrought tale of a dysfunctional family in a Southern trailer park with a drug-dealing mom who has a bunch of kids that she doesn't care for. After killing her lover/drug supplier, her teenage son deals with the aftermath until he meets a cute girl. Cute girls can always help when a family is as effed up as this one is, right? Trailers is just one absurd sequence after another.

Excellent one-off graphic novel. The characters are interesting, the setting is properly grimey. I really liked the portrayal of the children, very true-to-life in that kind of place, with no edits for "decency."

I thought that it was very realistic that Michelle (a rich girl who wants to be a psychology student) would become interested in him mistaking a "project" for love. There was an interesting contrast between her interest which would traditionally read as love and the care that the main character had for his mother.

I liked the ultimate message too.
