Empire State

Si simple et si intelligent à la fois. L'efficacité légendaire de Shiga a encore frappé, tant dans le sens donné aux couleurs que dans la construction des bulles. Aucune exagération ici à la Bookhunter (mais on reste chez les bibliothécaires!) ni de violence loufoque à la Demon (mais on garde la quête existentielle), juste une complexe tranche de vie.

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.
