The graphic novel that I'm going to review is titled: Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth, by: Chris Ware. By far, this is one of the most unique comics I have ever read. This comic has won many awards and is on most top graphic novel/comic reviews. After reading many reviews I decided to purchase this 380 page paperback. Most reviews say to take your time with this novel, and those reviews are right, this novel needs to be treating with respect and time. There's many different stories and imaginations going on throughout the novel, but all come together and it might not set in right away, but everything comes together and makes total sense. This comic is about the life of a introverted somewhat depressed single man on life's journey, while trying to live his life, he receives a letter from his long lost father and decides to visit him, and while on his visit he learns much about his dad's life and his grandfather's life. Even though the story moved around a lot and was somewhat melancholy at points, it all comes together with one of the most memorable endings that will put a smile on your face. I recommend this comic to anyone interested in the graphic novel genre and wants to experience something a little outside the box from intense action and violence. Pick this comic up and add it to your collection, you wont regret it. Thanks for reading and please follow the blog.
