Girls Girls Girls

The other day I sat down and read the series 'Girls' for the first time. It's a series I've been curious about for several reasons. 1. Its full of naked girls 2. I recently found out that the creators, The Luna Brothers, went to school with me in Savannah and 3. Its got some of the best last page cliffhangers on the shelf.

See, working at the store, we don't have much time to actually read comics, but I've flipped through just about every book in here. And even though I'm adamantly against skipping to the end, I do it all the time. Never in stuff I plan to read, but sometimes, like this, I end up reading it anyway and I've already spoiled surprises. So, without spoiling anything for you, I'll just say that it has a lot of "what the F---?" moments.

Anyway, its a good read. The Luna Brothers share credits on it, with Jonathan leaning towards the art and Joshua, writing, and they've developed a unique style with a simple and cinematic look. It's hard to place its genre at this point. Its mostly a mystery suspense, but I kept expecting it to break into a more sci-fi/horror feel. Honestly, the book relies heavily on its mystery, so there's still time for it to fall apart at the seams when they tie it up, but based on the acclaim the creators have received for their previous effort, Ultra, I hope they've got something planned.
