Plutona
by Jeff Lemire, Emi Lenox
I was really digging this till the end.
So this is about a bunch of kids finding a dead body. To be more specific it's a superhero's body. They begin to figure out what to do. Go to cops? Cover it up? Get rid of the body? When everything starts to unravel and these kids begin to change and panic, everything falls apart.
Good: I really enjoyed the style of art. Cartoony and over the top but it works for a lot of the scenes. I enjoyed the dialog, kids talked like kids, and that means everyone hates everything. The build up is great and the tone gets darker and darker.
Bad: the ending just ends. Leaves so many plot points up in the air it's frustrating. I also didn't care or need to know about the superhero past. Wasn't really interesting or well done.
Overall solid early work from Lemire. I think it's good, moments of greatness, but doesn't grasp it completely. A 3.5 out of 5.
