I am not sure where to even start with this book. I will say first that I love graphic novels. Any kind really. The fact that this seemed to be a gay themed one appealed to me. I don't know of that many so I wanted to read this right away. I really didn't know what to expect from The Desert Peach. I guess going in with no expectations was the best way to do it. Right away I liked the art. It is rough around the edges but drawn with expression and detail.I am used to the polished look of current books but I felt that the art just worked for these as it was. As I started reading this I actually cringed but just kept going. I hate gay stereotypes sometimes and this seemed to be one. You know the flouncing gay. I stayed with it and found myself chuckling and really going over each panel with a critical eye. Like I said, I was kinda worried at first but really it pulled me in and I never really wanted to put it down. That says something, right? I have only read the 1rst one so far but I ended up really enjoying it. Well written( with a bawdy sense of humor) and artwork that really fit the book. I look forward to seeing where the series goes. If it does infact take a weighty turn, I think that is a perfect place for this character to go. This book may not appeal to everyone at first but give it a chance there are some merits here.

THE DESERT PEACH is a comic in a class all its own. Hysterical in the early issues, sad and weighty as ***k in its later installments, look anywhere and you'll see fans gushing about the writing, the art, the everything. On the Kindle, I was worried the hand-drawn art and hand-lettered dialogue would be ridiculously unreadable. But boy was I pleasantly surprised - the pages have been artfully divvied into perfectly LEGIBLE kindle-sized comic pages! This comics IS NOT JUST RESIZED. It's fully adapted, and for that, it's a 5-star kindle comic!!!
