Review of 'Hicksville' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Still a great bit of work, full of heart and gentle world building.

Ambitious comic about comics. It's interesting, but trying to sort out all the narrative levels can be a bit confusing.
A moving and heartfelt love letter to the comic medium, Hicksville also does a good job of portraying New Zealand in its self perceived isolation and quirkiness. Very fun and illuminating, if maybe a bit obscure at times. Good relax reading! :D
