Sinossi
Mentre la precoce Karen Reyes cerca di risolvere il mistero della morte della bellissima ed enigmatica vicina del piano di sopra, Anka Silverberg, sopravvissuta all'Olocausto, vediamo dipanarsi le storie individuali di chi le vive intorno: il fratello Deeze, che teme di dover andare in guerra e che è torturato da un segreto del passato; Sam "Hotstep" Silverberg, un musicista jazz; il signor Gronan, un gangster; Franklin, una drag queen e il signor Chugg, un ventriloquo. Quando l'indagine di Karen ci porta alla vita di Anka ai tempi della Germania nazista, il lettore scopre come convergano il personale e il politico, il passato e il presente, e come anche nei buoni si nasconda un oceano di mostruosità.

Comics don’t take that long to read. I’ve been reading Emil Ferris’ My Favorite Thing Is Monsters now for two weeks and I’m only 162 pages deep into this 397 page doorstopper. I can’t stand it anymore so I’m making an executive decision on behalf of my sanity – I’m well and truly done with this shit Leggi tutto
The art in this graphic novel is spectacular, but the story, I'm afraid, I found disjointed and at times downright incomprehensible. It's about a young girl, Karen (who's obsessed with monsters, thus depicts herself as one) investigating the mysterious death of her neighbour. But it's also about the Leggi tutto
the art : incredible. Ferris is able to do so much with her crosshatched ballpoint pen drawings. so many ranges of tone conveyed through color and detail. these dense and intricate illustrations were beautiful, horrible, realistic, fantastical, sweetly childlike, mournfully adult, hallucinatory, vivi Leggi tutto
The art is amazing but this meandered a bit more than I would have liked. I will be reading the next volume though.
