I like the tragic and beer-bellied super hero story a lot. I appreciated Rusty Brown's selfish cruelty and loved, loved, loved Brittany White the teenage broken-hearted lesbian! Oh, and the Rocket Sam chronicles are the saddest robot tales you'll ever read. Poor robots! Learn your lesson, robots! Your creator is heartless!!! He will betray you and treat you like a slave tool every time!

It's obvious to anyone who reads comics/graphic novels that Ware has a strikingly distinct and rich style/color scheme but his constant morose attitude and disdain towards his characters gets a bit daunting. Between Rusty Brown and Jimmy Corrigan, jeez...give me someone to root for! The entire set up of this entire book is astounding, just make sure to pack some prozac.

Serie de tiras cómicas y variedades.

Son pequeñas historias de una página con varios personajes y cada página es de uno de ellos. Hay historias de un futuro lejano con una estética preciosa pero aburrido de guión. La historia de una rata que no acabo de comprender. Y la historia de un friky al estilo Joe Matt pero que no dice nada nuevo. Y por en medio pequeños juegos de ingenio que tampoco me han divertido

No lo veo recomendable o yo no les veo nada. Tienen una buena narrativa, la estética es preciosa, pero no me dice nada.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, the book is beautiful, the design elements show a range of styles, great lettering, details and perspectives, but narratively it's all over the place.

Everyone who enjoys graphic novels should be reading Chris Ware's books. I am always amazed (and sometimes lost) by the layout design of his stories.
This was my first experience with his work and got me hooked on melancholic humor. You should read this or something by him.

I often look for characters i can identify with. I have a lot of luck in the chris ware books.

Probably one of the most beautifully heartbreaking graphic novels every written and drawn. The comedic aspects stem from the ludicrous despair Chris Ware puts his characters through. The plots are always ingenious, the art always immaculate, the detail beyond what one could ever need from a graphic novel. It's something you return to over and over despite the depressing arcs and sad-sack characters.
