Review: Crave Vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal 

It has been a long time since I've read a book like Crave. I finished the trade paperback of what I assume will be the first volume in one sitting. There's something to be said about a story that entices you to continue reading and not just due to the dynamic visuals of the overly beautiful people that populate the story. Rather because of the pacing and content of the story itself.

While Crave’s story is not incredibly deep it does have a wonderful pacing to it. On its surface, it is a story about social media. The anxieties presented by knowing too much and what Big Data corporations do with our information and what could be done with that information and the harrowing realities of testing that on the populace. Now, that all sounds very, very deep, but since the story is limited to essentially one day of this world or maybe two at the most It is rather fast paced and doesn't take too much time to stop and think about these deeper ideas that it presents. Instead, that's left to the audience to think about in the aftermath of the story. Which is still interesting. It's still a good way to present that information. Food for thought rather than here is my opinion. You get the sense that the creator, Maria Llovet, is not looking to explicitly, tell you about their opinion on all this.

Review: Louca vol. 1: Kickoff

By Dustin Cabeal

While trying out the izneo platform I came across Louca. The concept is a high school boy that’s bad at everything ends up befriending a ghost that’s his complete opposite. It’s not a new storyline, but I will admit that I’m a sucker for this type of story. The success of the story lies in the journey and the mystery of how the young man came to be a ghost haunting his old high school. If you were looking for something similar to compare it to, I would recommend Brody’s Ghost from Dark Horse Comics.

Review: Motro vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

There’s a lot of weird shit in Motro that I enjoyed. Things like raising vehicles like pets until they grow up and you can ride them or how old people revert to the size of babies, but still manage to walk around. Weird has never bothered me and usually is a huge draw for me.

By Dustin Cabeal

If you’ve read any of my previous reviews for this series, then feel free to skip this one. While I won’t be going into the same level of detail for the trade as I did on the single issues, it’s pretty clear already that this trade will be scoring perfectly.
