Charles Burns: Black Hole, Xed Out, Big Baby and other phantasmagorias

psa: it rules

this guy is a treasure

just read X'ed Out and The Hive from the library, they don't have Sugar Skull in yet

i highly recommend getting all three and reading it start-to-finish in one sitting.

Just finished doing the above and, not to get too much into spoilers, I'm not sure how to feel about the conclusion. It seems to wrap things up neatly in a way I really didn't expect based on Black Hole and that doesn't ring entirely true with the setup of the first two volumes. I can appreciate it as a commentary on immature, self-obsessed indie comic heroes, but I don't know if that's enough of a payoff. Maybe there's more ambiguity intended but it def doesn't seem that way from the last few pages.
