Middlewest. Vol. 1

Abel decides to run away from home and join a travelling carnival of magicians, talking animals and robots because his dad’s an abusive prick – and also a giant wind monster (and not the kind that shows up after eating a plate of beans)! But Abel’s not safe as wind monster dad sets out after him… As Leggi tutto

This book is tough one to review. So it starts off simple enough. Abel lives with an abusive father who beats him and treats him like shit. One day the boy snaps and tells his father to go fuck himself. In this moment his father becomes a giant tornado and destroys the city they live in and Abel run Leggi tutto

Another graphic novel by Scottie Young. He is just pumping them out now and what a time to be alive. Middlwest is by far my favorite graphic novel so far this year and I really don't see anything topping it. It follows a young boy named Abel who lives in a small town called Farmington. He lives with Leggi tutto

Мова піде про першу арку мальопису «Мідлвест» сценариста Скотті Янґа і художника Хорхе Корони.

A beautifully realised YA-ish story with fantasy elements about a kid who runs away from home and his abusive father. Normally a story like this wouldn't really be my thing, but Skottie Young's rock-solid writing and Jorge Corona's sublime artwork made all the difference.

Intriģējoša pasaule, kur reālisms saplūst ar maģiju, galvenajam varonim Abelam ir draugs Lapsa!!! Patīk ilustrācijas, sižets ir nedaudz paredzams, bet tai pat laikā rada vēlmi turpināt sēriju.

That creaky old trope doesn't much interest me, even if you throw in some "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" Hulk-outs. And too much of the world, the magic, and the

7.7/10 This dramatic tale of a boy running away from his abusive father is mixed wonderfully with supernatural elements. The world building is nice, the characters are interesting and the art is gorgeous ( perfect fit for Young's writing ). I will definitely buy the second book.
