Habibi by Craig Thompson is probably one of the most enjoyable comics I’ve read in my life. I had two long flights over the past week, and luckily I had this book to escape the stress and time of flying.
If I could only use one word to describe this book, it would be beautiful.
The art is beautiful. The story is beautiful. The language is beautiful. The symbolism is beautiful. The design is beautiful. The layouts are beautiful. The calligraphy is beautiful. The narrative is beautiful.
The way it all comes together is beautiful.
The last premiere week of the new 52…and I think Marvel put out some books too.
A few more DC #1’s than last week, Fear Itself limps along, and my first look at the new Ultimate Spider-Man.
I’m gonna try to do this a little more often. I’m not a proper reviewer like Josh and Marissa, so this is just a few random thoughts to give an idea of what I’m into and not into at the moment. Basically what Josh has already been doing on Twitter, without having to keep in-character. And I’d like to hear what you guys are thinking week to week as well!
Comic stores in Los Angeles haven’t opened yet, so I maintain I completed these before the reboot titles hit shelves.
Except for Justice League, that doesn’t count. Fuck was it doing coming out in August, anyway.
