What's a girl to do?,
By Mary J. Alderdice "geek, book lover, craft fiend" (Washington DC Metro Area, US) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Strangers In Paradise: Immortal Enemies (Bk. 5) (Paperback)
Strangers in Paradise: Volume 5: Immortal Enemies is the next trade paperback collection of Terry Moore's wonderful comic. This book collects the following issues: Volume 3, Issue 6: The Elephant Graveyard; Volume 3, Issue 7: The Very Thing That Makes Her Rich; Volume 3, Issue 8, I Believe You; Volume 3, Issue 9: The Loneliness of Madmen; Volume 3, Issue 10: Suddenly; Volume 3, Issue 11: Immortal Enemies; and Volume 3, Issue 12: The Danger of the Night. (If you have not read the first four volumes (The Collected Strangers in Paradise, I Dream of You, It's a Good Life, and Love Me Tender), I recommend you do so, or you'll be missing vital backstory.) What's a girl to do? It seems that no matter what Katchoo does, she can't win. Never one to have many friends, Katchoo realizes that she's lost one of the few people she's ever felt she could trust (slow though that may have been in coming), and, worse, that it was her fault. How can she expect David to open up to her when she never tells him anything about herself? Determined to set things right, Katchoo goes to find David, the only way she can... by asking the dreaded Darcy Parker for a favor. How far will Katchoo go to find David? How far will Darcy go to bend Katchoo to her whims? How far will David go to save Katchoo? And how far will Francine go just to find out what's going on? Immortal Enemies continues the stories of Katchoo's attempts (and failures) to escape her past. It seems that there's nothing she can do to get away from mistakes that continue to haunt her, and endangering her friends. As with the rest of the series, the book is rife with emotional conflict and physical violence, and puts our heroes and heroines in any number of impossible situations. If you've enjoyed the previous volumes of the series, you're sure to love Immortal Enemies.

Excellent work of comic art,

This review is from: Strangers In Paradise: Immortal Enemies (Bk. 5) (Paperback)
Even though it's not in my usual favorite genres, I was hooked as soon as I picked up Strangers in Paradise. The art is down-to-earth and realistic (not in the photographic sense, but in the sense that it doesn't idealize the subject. Francine is even realistically chubby. ^_^), but the lines are bold and the style has a very clean look. The story, too, is well-crafted and compelling. I started here, and even though I was "coming in in the middle," I was drawn into the story almost immediately. For someone looking for a role model in comic art, this was just what I'd been looking for.

Goosebumps...,
By ChibiNeko "Sooo many books, so little time!" (Whereever I go, here I am.) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Strangers In Paradise: Immortal Enemies (Bk. 5) (Paperback)
That's what this series gives me. The great thing about this series is how Terry Moore thinks nothing about changing the format a little & switching between prose, comics, and a one panel page.
This volume has been very well described so far & to say anything more would give away too much. Needless to say, this is a pivotal point in the series & is definately a must-read of Terry Moore's! (Just make sure that you read everything prior to it beforehand.)
