Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School–This book uses the traits of the graphic novel and the sequential art format to explore and investigate deep and contemplative ideas. Several international writers and artists have contributed vignettes and short stories to this very creative work; most rely on powerful images to convey the message. The subject matter is mature; images and themes are bizarre, absurd, disturbing, or philosophical. The collection demonstrates the power of the graphic novel to tell stories beyond that of adventure, humor, or superheroes. The combination of words and images is insightful, expressive, passionate, and, at times, dark. Samplings of comics from historical and modern movements are represented. Although Rosetta 2 is a worthwhile read and has value to the graphic-novel world, its erudite appeal will make it a challenge to circulate.–Joel Bangilan, Houston Public Library, TX

From Booklist

The follow-up to the noteworthy alternative-comics anthology Rosetta (2002) boasts an impressive array of contributors, most of them new to even the most assiduous followers of indy comics. Its two dozen stories don't share any theme, but they are all of high quality. Alt-comics fans will probably turn first to the first-rate entries by such familiar hands as Craig Thompson, Paul Pope, and Jason Lutes, though truly exciting revelations await them in the work of non-English-language artists hitherto seldom translated. Pieces by France's Edmond Baudoin, Spain's Max, and the Netherlands' Tobias Tycho Schalken, whose simultaneously dispassionate and despairing "Echo and Bounce" rather resembles Chris Ware's stuff, are particularly outstanding. A retrospective of early-twentieth-century Chinese cartoonists Feng Zikai and Liao Binxiong opens a historical window, and an American worthy of greater recognition is Matt Madden, whose story of workplace life is formally rigorous and narratively lucid. The significance of the title Rosetta remains obscure, but consider this valuable anthology a Rosetta stone that readers unfamiliar with nontraditional comics can use to begin deciphering the global comics scene.
