Angel Catbird, Vol. 1

As much as I love Margaret Atwood, I did not love this. It felt like she was trying to capture the feel of the Golden Age of comics (when she was reading them), but it felt too hokey and contrived to me. People don't talk that way. The art was pretty cool, I enjoyed following the the story through the illustrations, but the story itself was kind of meh. I mean, if I was Margaret Atwood I would definitely write a lame graphic novel to push my pet activism and not give a shit about it, so it doesn't even matter that I'm giving it 2 stars. I like that she keeps experimenting with style and format too, despite this one falling flat for me.
