I'll admit that in the beginning of this graphic novel I wasn't certain I'd like it. I liked the art from page one. But the plot and letter-writing narrative-style took me a little bit longer to come around to. But by the end I was fully invested and enjoyed it. Nettie was just the kind of bronze-balled bitch with a mission that I appreciate. There's symbolism, sacrifice, and a moral to the story.
Admittedly, the obsessive love of a mother is a little cliched as a plot device and I might have like to understand a bit more of the hows, whys, and what nows of the whole situation. But I don't know that there would have been an elegant way to include it. So, I can't really complain on that front. All in all, I'd be happy to read more by this team.
