The Sculptor

The Sculptor is the story of a man living in New York City who unexpectedly gains a superpower—a familiar premise, but this is not a superhero comic. In a way it's more of a return to early stories of this type, like the Invisible Man, in that the hero of the story doesn't act particularly heroic—he just acts like a normal person might.

There's a big discussion embedded in the story about what Art is and what the purpose of Art is, which from the little I've read seems to be a perennial topic of Scott McCloud's work.

Anyway, I thought it was pretty good.

Fantastic. A masterpiece of work.

Randomly my mind was comparing the protagonist, Mr. Smith with the Agent Smith of Matrix. Both the Smith’s wants to be seen and recognised. Both of the can morph things magically. Both of them want relief and escape from the mundane. But Mr. Smith is more endearing and charming than Agent Smith.

I loved the art work. It’s gorgeous and mesmerising. It’s from Scott McCloud, who is an OG of the graphic novel art form. No wonder I had such an awesome and high feeling reading this. If you are graphic novel lover, I highly recommend this book. You will thank me later.

I enjoyed this while reading it but the more I think about it the more pissed off I get, particularly by the Manic Pixie Dream Girl character. Ugh.

Don't even know where to begin. Simply one of the most remarkable graphic novels I've ever read.

Loved this book--swept through it at high speed. Looking back, I don't know that the story is all that deep, but it clearly grabbed me, and the art is just gorgeous. Even as fast as I was going, I'd stop and look back over a page to drink it in.
