Ted Naifeh

I found this as I was perusing the library catalogue while on the info desk (I see a pattern emerging), and thought I'd give it a go. It was... fine. I mean, it's an urban fantasy comic, and I like urban fantasy and I like graphic novels, so it seemed like a good thing to try. But, I didn't really find anything to grab me. Rue is a teen whose mother suddenly goes missing. That is disorienting enough, but then Rue begins to see things that shouldn't be there (people with horns or other fantastical features, people who others can't see), and her father is accused of killing one of his students. Pretty soon, Rue is informed that her mother is actually a faerie (in the sense of fae, not like Tinkerbell), and that Rue is too. Rue tries to figure this all out. That's basically it, in this volume. I'm not in a big rush to keep reading this, as my pile is large, but it may show up on my radar again at some point.… (altro)
