Sinossi
Michael DeForge, premiato ai prestigiosi Ignatz Awards e Eisner Awards, è un artista iperprolifico che vanta importanti collaborazioni, dalla serie Adventure Time a Cartoon Network. Dopo Dressing torna con un graphic novel che segna un punto di svolta artistico e che è stato considerato una delle sue opere più importanti. Brat è la storia di una "star della delinquenza giovanile", ora in crisi, che deve barcamenarsi tra la sua nuova stagista (ovviamente non pagata), i suoi fan e l'ideazione di una nuova performance che la riporti sulla cresta dell'onda perché non ha intenzione di essere buttata fuori dalla scena della delinquenza giovanile di cui è stata pioniera. Un'opera divertente e disturbante, popolata da personaggi cinici con cui però è impossibile non empatizzare. Una parodia del nostro mondo, della sete di popolarità e ribellione, delle "hot-news" al tempo dei social e dei like. Paragonato negli States alla serie Netflix Bojack The Horseman, Brat continua il percorso intrapreso da Eris con autori come Jesse Jacobs, Julia Wertz, Adam Tempesta, Fabio Tonetto e Hurricane.

My favorite Michael DeForge comic yet, and the longest long form work he has done yet, the story of the famous/infamous juvenile delinquent Ms. D who has gained social media fame and gained fame for her hometown for her pranks (performances, she says!). Young people adore her, but even a cop whose c Leggi tutto

3.5, rounded up. A satire on celebrity culture, the story of the infamous juvenile delinquent, Ms. D., is fun, but a bit too scatological for my taste!
Ms. D is a world-famous juvenile delinquent. The public--especially her fans--eagerly anticipate her next exploit. Her publisher is urging her to time it to coincide with the release of her new memoir. Can you say, “performance anxiety”? D hires Citrus Chan as an unpaid intern. Citrus and her boyfri Leggi tutto
A sharp, incisive commentary on celebrity culture and the manner in which subversion itself becomes a product. It's perhaps the closest DeForge has yet got to a clear-cut comedy, although there's that lingering undercurrent of sadness that becomes explicated in the character of Ms. D. At its peaks,

Loved the color palette, love the character design, really liked the story and the main characters. A story of a woman famous for her minor crimes who is getting too old to be the leader of the scene she started: delinquency. I love DeForge's style and tone and humor, so this was just a great book.
Solid DeForge, inventive, thoughtful and fun. I can't add to Brian O'Connell's review.
I found this comic eminently readable, and it made me laugh out loud several times. Nonetheless, it's not as memorable or imaginative as the excellent Ant Colony , or the brilliant short comics collected in A Body Beneath . I guess Brat is satirizing celebrity culture, but it lacks the existential dep Leggi tutto
Dark, as in sad and evoking a sense of great tragedy. But also dark in the sense of dark comedy. Some of the best graphic novels are exactly that -- tragicomedies, like Fun Home by Alison Bechdel. For me, this doesn't go riiight up there, but it is masterful. The artwork is whimsical, but whimsicall Leggi tutto
