Strange Adventures by Tom King

5.0

Wow, I've enjoyed Tom King's writing since Vision although I find him to be hit-and-miss. This was a full-on hit. This is a masterclass in comic storytelling. The book has an intriguing premise, captivating storytelling, few, but well-developed characters, and is absolutely heart-breaking. I found this book to be deeply depressing, but it is probably in the top five books in terms of the way it hit me emotionally while reading (Daytripper and Underwater Welder would be up there on that list too.)

Also, it is worth noting that the distinct art of Mitch Gerads and Doc Shaner enable the best elements of storytelling in the medium. Time jumps and flashbacks do not need to be explained because the visual style is so distinct for each.
