That cover! All those characters look like they were just forced to watch WW:1984 😉

You’re really getting into Jeff Lamire lately, eh? 🙂 Some of your description vaguely brought to mind the shows Quantum Leap and Sliders, though perhaps with far more uncertainly and unpredictability to his movements. I really like the look watercolor provides.

Hahah It was coincidental. Or not. Maybe I like to support fellow Canadians unconsciously. 😛 Very interesting comparison to Quantum Leap/Sliders. I haven’t checked either of them out but the premise does seem to show some similarities! And yes. In the right hands, watercolour artwork is quite stunning! 😮

Jeff Lemire certainly has a very weird imagination. He lived in Harrow, which is about minutes from me. I read the Essex County trilogy just because of that and it was interesting.

I have yet to read Essex County but it’s high on my priority list. I’ve only heard great things about it too and I’m really glad to hear that you found it interesting, Carla! Thanks for reading.

Is Jeff Lemire your current favorite author? Sounds like this one has a good hold on its main character and the graphic effectively grasping the emotions of the characters, not to also mention the great use of panels for transitions albeit the non traditional format. Great review once again, Lashaan!

Hahaha noooo, I just like exploring his stories. They often turn out to be so very intriguing, often pertaining to human emotions and their bond with another. I also just happen to review a lot of them here though. 😛 Thanks for reading, Jee!

So why did you take stars away from this? It totally sounds intriguing and weird. Good weird.

I guess it all came down to how satisfied I was with this origin story. It definitely does it right but not enough in my books to impress me.
