Suburbia until I found this just in at the library yesterday It s a kind of growing up in suburbia tale based on but I now know pretty significantly revised from her webcomic None of the characters are particularly attractive it s a kind of slice of life story of disaffected teens into sex, drugs and rock n roll I think unattractive is part of the point This is not a story of the popular in

original and creative story and the comic art was great.I just can t believe that kids are that stupid or shortsighted Even on a day to day basis, it s utterly unbelievable that you wouldn t be having really long, worried discussions about what happened, and why, and what to do ne...This is a dark, disturbing work with a lot of emotional resonance and many mysteries that linger even after the apocalyptic ending We find ourselves in a gritty suburban river town in an indeterminate time, watching grimy teenage punk kids hang out, drink, go to house shows, and argue among themselves about
