    The art is beautiful, and the story seems incredibly inventive.

    The lettering, however, makes we want to cry out in pain after reading only one panel. I THINK I could get used to it, but... maybe not.

    @Lassus: Actually if you click on the panels and expand them to full size the lettering looks legible.

    @Annalee Newitz: Yeah, I did that, but there's a real problem to my eyes of "Let's see + he nex + place", the different spacing of the letters on the second page (first panel vs. the second panel), and the general uneven jittery-ness of the last page.

    I understand I'm being a bit of a whiny bitch about it, but I'm finding it really distracting. I'd probably get over it with extended reading. I hope.

    @Lassus: Agreed. With more conventional lettering, I'd read this, but it hurts my eyes. Especially the + instead of t. Doesn't matter how much it's embiggened.

    "Ella and the Anarchists" sounds like a club band in the Haicht in the late sixties

    "There's a kind of sweetness to...her tiny, crumbling lettering."
    You call it sweet; I call it effing illegible.
