Clearly something is off kilter in Bltyhe's world. Unsubtle references to Rushidie notwithstanding, the comic certainly shares the same kind of storytelling conceits as his novels. The comic moves through settings in very rapid pace, but seldom offers any cues to differentiate between the times and places the reader is ushered though. This has a lot to do with Blythe, our main character, whose life. . .as far as we know. . .is just one long flight; and as an acrophobic, her willingness to put up with that makes the prospect ever more daunting, and hints at her own strength at a character. So at once the books reads both as an utter slogĀ and as a fast paced introduction to the various players an intrigues the book plans to deal with. The book gets 5 simply for fascinating me on a coneptual level, I dig that kind of stuff.
The art, while not jaw dropping spectacular, plays its part in making every setting blend into one other. I'm thinking that it was was a concious choice to make the art style inconspicuous, especially sense it does such a great job at making the ethnicity of Zayn, the maybe-secret agent following Blythe on her travels, as vague as possible.
Most certainly my pick of the week.
