So, four issues in and we've read four heartbreakingly great stories. I've kind of given up trying to work out the overarching plan for these ten issues. When I first read about the series I asumed that, like most miniseries, they would tell a single contained story. Instead I think that each issue is self contained, each is a reflection on a different aspect of the same character or an excercise in looking at the ways that different choices could affect the same person's life. Most of all though, I try and forget thinking about the point of these books, and just soak up what's there in front of me.
Issue 4 is about Bras as a 41 year old. He's at a stage where he's fulfilled himself in several ways, by writing a novel instead of obituaries and by settling down with a woman who is about to have his son. Much of the story revolves around the hospital and it reflects emotions and situations that those of us with children will connect to. I remember as if it were yesterday the waiting, the false alarms, the phonecalls that have to be made to family and friends. The Ba-Moons capture it all immaculately. More than that though, they impart the mood and emotions of such a time. I've fortunately escaped the kind of mourning Bras goes through here thus far, but the feelings of new fatherhood are still very real to me and they are right there on the page to remind me again.
Then the art goes hand in hand with such a story, living and breathing every moment of this tale. Not a single stroke is wasted, characters move and react in such a natural and real way. The brothers conjure the real world in a way that makes it seem easy, yet I know that there are very few people who could draw a book like this. Every panel is worthy of your attention, with no exceptions.
When I read issue one I reflected on what a great collection it will make, and for the art alone it will indeed look beautiful bound in a hardcover. Yet it's a book that also rewards the single issue reader. These issues shouldn't necessarily be read one after another, but instead with monthly gaps, so that they are given the chance to be savoured and taken in. It's nothing more than they deserve.
Art: 5 - Excellent
