How to Talk to Girls At Parties - The Graphic Novel
How to Talk to Girls at Parties - Fábio Moon,Gabriel Bá,Neil Gaiman

I listened to this in an audio collection of Gaiman's stories once and found this graphic novel representation on par to that listening experience.  I don't mean to toot my own horn...but I think I've got a pretty ok imagination, and Gabriel Bà's illustrations of the girls, the party and the experience were all vivid representations perfectly matching the feeling I got from listening to the story.  The huge slightly unfocused (or focused on things far beyond my reckoning) eyes of the partying girls, even the various rooms or stages of the house and beyond are beautiful, alien and slightly scary.

 

Nice short graphic novel with beautiful colors and details that will absorb readers for days.

How to Talk to Girls at Parties - Fábio Moon,Gabriel Bá,Neil Gaiman

I received a copy of this book through Book Riot.

I have not read the original short story that this graphic novel was based on, so I really had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the weird, yet intriguing story and the beautiful artwork.

While I still have no idea what actually happened in the story, it was a fun read with interesting art, which created a cool experience. The book was definitely not what I was expecting, which turned out to be a very good thing.

After reading the graphic novel, I would like to go back and actually read the short story, because I think it many ways the visual representations of the events were limiting and may have been better expressed through words.

Overall, a cool story that is a quick and fascinating read.

Pixu: The Mark of Evil
Pixu: The Mark of Evil - Becky Cloonan,Fábio Moon,Gabriel Bá,Vasilis Lolos

So I honestly don't have much to say about this one. Pixu: The Mark of Evil sets out to be dark and disturbing. It's a tale about a group of people, linked by the darkness overtaking them, and all headed for certain destruction. In theory, that sounds like a story that I'd be all over. In practice, it's very odd and more than a little confusing.

 

While I thought that the art in Pixu: The Mark of Evil was a little rough, I actually did end up liking it after a while. It sets the stage for malice and mystery. The problem with this graphic novel lies mostly in the story itself. It is terribly disjointed. There's no time to fully understand where any one person in this story is actually coming from, and so reading this is like holding on to a piece of driftwood in a rough current. Only that piece of driftwood keeps getting smaller and smaller. There's nothing to cling to.

 

That's my spiel. I think this was a great idea, it just needed more polish.

This was good. I would do a better review if my brother in law didn't borrow the novel this afternoon.

 

This is a collection of short graphic novels. These are dark and twisted stories. The first story is about an artist who paints with human blood, murder, aliens and drugs, and more. There is bloody scenes, wicked graphics, and great dialog in these. I enjoyed over 85% of the stories in this.

Reading progress update: I've read 50 out of 296 pages.
CMYK - Tony Akins,Shaun Simon,Amy Chu,Jock,Fábio Moon

This is a collection of short graphic fiction that use the four color process of comics printing. I had no idea what that was so I looked it up.  

 

These are dark. The first story is Serial Artist written by Shaun Simon and illustrated by Tony Akins. It's creepy, but I love it. There is whacked out girl killing people and making art with the blood of her victims.

 

 

From what I have read so far, all of the stories are dark in some way or another.
