Hinges Book Two: Paper Tigers by Meredith McClaren
3.0
'Hinges Book Two: Paper Tigers' by Meredith McClaren is something I'm trying desperately to like, but I find it confusing to follow at times.
Orio and her strange familiar Bauble now live in the city of Cobble, but when Bauble is discovered and someone else wants to own Bauble, Orio and Bauble flee the city. They meet up with a man named Abernathy and discover a ruined city that seems to be inhabited by paper tigers that roam and stalk. What is this strange place they've found and who is Abernathy?
Questions that were raised in the first volume are not really answered here. Instead, we get a whole new fresh set of questions. I can hang on with that kind of story for a while as long as the payoff is good. That remains to be seen.
The art and world is why I keep coming back. A world where people are hinged and sometimes have strings like marionettes is unlike any other I've run across. The art is likewise fresh and interesting, and why I came back for the second volume. There is something unique and interesting happening here, but I can't seem to place what it is, and that is leading me to be a little frustrated. Hopefully the next volume will yield at least a few answers to the many questions.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
