MIND MGMT, Vol. 1: The Manager by Matt Kindt
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A bit too much waiting to hear an explanation for what appear to be inexplicable events, but it was still intriguing enough to keep me going despite the fact that “no time to explain!” is one of my pet peeves.
By the end, I was in. The first 2/3 didn’t quite do it for me, but once we got to the exposition, I was in. This probably sounds like a non-endorsement, but I’m a person who’s likely to quit a book that doesn’t feel like it’s going somewhere, so for me to stick with it is high praise, in a way. Not to put too much power in my own hands. I just mean to say that even for someone who loathes a story that takes a little too long to really get started, it felt worthwhile to hang in there.
Also, I don’t love the art, but I think Matt Kindt is smart because his different characters have distinct features, so it’s not an art issue where I don’t know who is saying or doing what. It’s just not my favorite style is all.
I’ll keep trucking with this one.
