The Big Feminist But: Comics about Women, Men and the Ifs, Ands & Buts of Feminism by Gabrielle Bell
2.0
Received via Edelweiss in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
I expected a lot from this comic when I requested it. As a Tumblr user (Tumblrer?), I get great joy from some of the comics that often appear on my dash. Funny, moving, heartfelt, thought provoking. When I find a book that seemingly can compete with what I have to hunt for on the internet, I dive for it.
It would appear I expected far too much from this book.
This was my favorite piece in the book, and it was, I believe, the last comic.
It's simple. It's thought provoking. It's jarring with its message that requires no caption. It's just a little bit perfect.
This is what I expected from the whole book. I don't want complete perfection, but I want a little bit of it.
Instead, I got convoluted, overly complicated, poorly composed, and disjointed. I hate to say all of that, because I respect artists, I respect the time and energy they put into their work. But if I were to see 85% of these comics online, I would continue scrolling and not wonder what other works they had done.
Very disappointing.
