Shawn Towner reviewed Empire state by Jason Shiga
Review of 'Empire state' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
I really enjoyed the artwork and coloring of the book, but the story just didn't do it for me. At various times the story is a little bit funny, a little bit sad, or a little bit heartwarming. But it never really goes on past that little bit. Maybe it's just that the main character is named Jimmy, but I couldn't help comparing this book to Jimmy Corrigan, and it certainly doesn't hold up to that standard.
