Boundless by Jillian Tamaki
4.0

Collection of graphic stories and/or essays. 3 of the stories revolve around fictional media (a 80s or 90s cult movie, a 90s sitcom, & an underground ambient track of the early 00s). The Movie & the Music ones were kind of about the effects of media phenomena on coming of age. The sitcom one is some kind of weird take on the TV entertainment industry. The story about shrinking reminded me a lot of Stephen King's novella Elevation, and was kind of creepy. The mirror facecook story was also a little unsettling. The comic on the back cover was funny too.
