Review: Heavy Metal Hearts + Flowers
Heavy Metal Hearts + Flowers
A Scary Go Round Story by John Allison
I’ve been a fan of John Allison’s work for a long time, since Bobbins, the sort of first incarnation of Scary Go Round. While his art didn’t really change between the original strips (1998) and this book (2004) (there are some differences; it’s much more dynamic than it used to be), Mr. Allison’s storytelling style developed drastically. While the earlier comics stood almost completely on his quirky artwork and endearing characters this book delivers an great, fast paced, stand alone story.
The only thing I can really criticize? I think it needs more Shelley. Of course, I think everything needs more Shelley.
