Review: King City, by Brandon Graham

I'd estimate that when it comes to hard copy graphic novels, 95% of what I read is manga. That remaining 5% is everything else--henceforth referred to as "comics". With that percentage in mind, it's not surprising how very...alien...I can find comics. For example, take the graphic novel I'm reviewing for this post: King City, by Brandon Graham. Rather than try to write a book-column-worthy compare and contrast proper review, I'm just gonna make three lists:

( What I liked, What I noticed and don't have much opinion on, and What I disliked )

Overall, I did like the book and don't regret reading it. I enjoyed the backgrounds and the creative elements to the story. Oh, and one thing I will give a definite star: the MC's BFF wonders to himself if he'd be so fond about the damsel in distress (and I quote) "if you looked like a plant with teeth?". It's nice to see some non-comedic acknowledgement that attraction is a driving force behind a lot of guy's actions. So. King City, by Brandon Graham. Go ahead and read it. The art is fun, and the story has its moments. Be prepared for prodigious amounts of womanly T&A. *snort*
