But there is a dark side to this love of mine. My ever-hopeful nature often entices me to head down dark alleys, toward creators or works I'm not as familiar with, in hopes that I'll find something mind-blowing (like when I first discovered Claremont and Cockrum's Uncanny X-Men, or O'Barr's The Crow, for example).
Last September, I attended the Toronto FanExpo show, and bought up a ton of graphic novel collections, some in trade paperback, some, like Queen Crab, in hardcover, getting each for a measly $5.
I'd seen QC around quite a bit, and I will say the cover is both funny and slightly disturbing...usually a good sign. But I'd never seen one that wasn't shrinkwrapped, so I'd never picked it up. But hey, $5? I coughed up five hundred pennies for it.
Obviously, I wasted those pennies.
I have no idea what I just read. It starts out as a rather salacious story of a woman and her fiance, both fucking around on each other, but only the guy is really made out to be an asshole. Then there's the confusing post-wedding section, that just left me confused as to what Palmiotti was trying to get across.
Then comes the moment where she turns up with crab claws. There's not even an attempt to sell this to us, just, hey it happened, let's move on.
Blah blah blah, more pages. Blah blah blah, more boobs. Then the reveal of powers in the last few pages, and that really stupid ending.
Honestly, this book was lazy, ambiguous, poorly-paced, nonsensical, with absolutely no likeable characters.
Yet, at the end, Palmiotti says something about, this isn't the normal stuff I write, but I want to do more of this.
Yeah, okay. You get on with yer bad self there, Jimmy. I'll take a pass.
$5? Yeah, I got ripped off. I want both my money and my time back. ( )
