moon over the freeway,
By
This review is from: Wet Moon Volume 2: Unseen Feet (v. 2) (Paperback)
the title of this review is stolen from the new ditty bops cd which makes a great soundtrack to this volume.
well, it was a little while in coming, but ultimately worth the wait. wet moon 2 is another dose of goth froth in the supiciously savannah-ish hamlet of wet moon. fans of the first volume should be very pleased with this latest installment, especially all the folks who hoped ross would stick to his guns and keep things ambling along at a remarkably slow and steady pace. this volume, remarkably enough, seems even less plot-oriented than the first book. i found it refreshingly spontaneous and closer to what life is really like (er, from my perspective anyhoo)at art school. little moments take on great significance while larger events are glossed over. all the main characters are simultaneously sympathetic and/or mysterious, annoying and/or adorable. the art, it almost goes without saying, is simply gorgeous. others have already pointed out that ross is one of the very few comic artists who actually draws REAL women. some are waifishly thin, others are downright chunky...but all seem perfectly comfortable in their own skin and you never get the idea that ross is mocking anyone for refusing to conform to stereotypical concepts of physical beauty. most comic artists have only one template for "cute" girls and this usually calls for long, long legs and balloon shaped breasts that defy physics. in addition to this, the storytelling in wet moon is just right and some panels made me physically gasp with surprise or joy. i am not an objective reviewer as i have known ross for a number of years. still, if i really thought wet moon 2 wasn't worth your time i could always just refrain from commenting here...and yet i took the time to write this because i genuinely enjoyed this book. support this series and buy a copy for a friend you really like.

This review is from: Wet Moon Volume 2: Unseen Feet (v. 2) (Paperback)
I love this series. I can't really explain why. Perhaps its because I'm such a voyeur...??? (never have been before) I don't know but the characters in this book feel so real. It feels like Ross Cambell just sits down and tape records conversations he has with his friends and then turns it into a comic. There's just something special about getting each new volume, something about these melodramatic, dorky, emo girls just captures my attention and makes me squeal with delight. I love to laugh at how "dark" some of characters pretend to be yet are complete and utter dorks. This is definitely a very niche comic book though, and while I enjoy it I can't recommend it to the public at large. If you like indie comics like jhonen vasquez and others or tragically mundane things this might be up your alley.

Art is awesome,

This review is from: Wet Moon Volume 2: Unseen Feet (v. 2) (Paperback)
The story is somewhat high-schooly and immature (no surprise; it's timed right after high school anyway) but the art is awesome and the characters are interesting, and there are intriguing plot developments running under the surface that kept me reading on.
