The first chapter/issue of Tongues was weird, but in the way, I like my comics. The second issue is also weird, but for a lot of different reasons. It’s clear that the story isn’t linear now. We’re not reading the events in a straight line because parts of the story travel back to before events in the first issue. It also means that we’re starting to see a bigger picture outline for use by creator Anders Nilsen.

We like to pretend that when it comes to entertainment we either like it or we don’t. That everything is 50/50 and so statements like, “I knew I would either love or hate this by looking at it” sound dumb. In reality, when you read so many comics you find that these 50/50 moments are actually not as common as they seem. That the grey area in which you like something for the story and wish the art was better is more common than I loved it or I hated it. I knew from the moment I saw Tongues that I would probably love it from the get go and that only a bad story could change that for me. It was a 50/50 moment in which my tastes said, “Fuck yeah” and my reviewer side said, “Let’s wait and see.”
