The City Beneath Her Feet
(W) James Tynion IV (A/CA) Elsa Charretier
An underrated genre in comics is Love stories. I think, this is because of the necessary nuance required to really pull it off. Some greats are Strangers In Paradise, Saga, and Sex Criminals. These books pull off the push and pull of everything in courtship, while not losing track of the chaotic world of pulp adventure. I am very much, looking forward to James Tynion IV's (Something is Killing the Children, Nice House by the Lake) take on this challenge. I have followed him since his days as a back-up writer on Detective Comics before 2011. Tynion, is no stranger to complex, gritty worlds with relatable, and attention grabbing humanity. This story promises to start off simple and like the tick, tick, tick of a bomb, lull you into expectation, only to blow it all away. Be prepared for attachment and painful waits for following release dates.
