Suburban Glamour #1 Review

SUBURBAN GLAMOUR #1
Written by Jamie McKelvie

This was a pleasant surprise. Some of the best and most realistic teenage dialogue I've ever read combined with a unique and interesting story. I'll just quote the description on the back cover, as it's spot on and hardly hype.

Astrid and Dave are teenagers stuck in a dead-end suburban town living uneventful lives - until Astrid gets a visit from her childhood imaginary friends, who tell her something big is about to happen.

Are they real or is she crazy?

Life is about to get a lot more interesting - and very, very dangerous!

From the co-creator of PHONOGRAM comes this tale of magic, mystery and underage drinking.


Did I mention this book has virtually no ads? That extra 50 cents (it's $3.50 cover price) equals an incredible story with the only ad an in-house Image ad and 2 extra pages for this great first issue.

Verdict - Must Read

Well, the first issue was fine, but by the second one, it became was awful and catastrophic. Too much text, and by judging what was inside the word balloons, too much not for me.

What's with the queen-of-the-faeries things ?
