Courtney Crumrin and the Coven of Mystics by Ted Naifeh

5.0

I love Courtney Crumrin. I don't know what it is, but sometimes you just encounter something that *clicks*, and that's it, you're hooked.

I'm not going to pretend that her character has layers worthy of writing books about, but her pushy attitude, her overall anti-social behavior is just so damn fun to read about. There are plenty of cliches going on, but I don't give a shit, I love it.

Sometimes it just *clicks*. Sometimes, in order for something to be a favorite it needs to touch on ideas you're close to, or for you to have a special memory of the work. Other times comics like Courtney Crumrin cheat and don't need to do anything at all to fit the bill.

Hey, I don't make the rules about how the chemistry in my brain reacts to things, it's what it is.
