Gloomcookie Volume Two

Summary: The wonderful world of gloomcookie
Review: I absolutely love gloomcookie! From the moment I accidently discovered the first book in a cartoon shop I was captivated. And although the artwork in the second volume is not as smashing as in the first, the story is so wonderfully fascinating and addictive it does not really matter much. The complexity AND simplicity of it is incredible.
Highly recommended!

Summary: Great collection of comics
Review: I had to get Gloomcookie's Vol II, after I read the first volume. The storyline was still as great as ever. Only this time, a different artist was used. I was alittle disappointed that the original artist wasn't used, only because Ted's art was more vibrant and eye catching. Don't get me wrong, the new artist is cool, just not the same. I definately recommend this second volume. If you read the first volume, you have to read the second.

Summary: Not as squishy as the first...
Review: I'm not too fond of John Gebbia style. The illustrations seem rushed and sketchy. I don't think I'd have ever picked Gloom Cookie up if he'd been the original illustrator. What's with the blobs for hands? It's not THAT hard to draw a hand!
Other than that this still a cute series. The story is interesting, the characters are fun, and the setting is gloomy. The artwork is the only reason this didn't get 5 stars.

Summary: bad art ruins a potentially good story
Review: The art has gone really downhill with this one unfortunatley, not because the artist isn't skilled, but because the work looks rushed and disinterested.
On the upside, our gothy soap opera continues, and you will see more of all the wonderful characters Serena Valentino created (except Vincent) even Max is back! There is even a new character, as Lindy gets a boyfriend, but he's one of Vermillions crowd (gasp!) and you will find out that there is more about Chrys then you knew. I feel this is worth reading, but only if you enjoy the characters enough to follow their stories.

Summary: Not as good as the first one...
Review: When an artist in a comic changes, it's like a band member leaving and getting replaced. Some people don't notice, other people feel like the music "just doesn't sound right anymore" and some people quit liking the band all together. The art has gone really downhill with this one unfortunatley, not because the artist isn't skilled, but because the work looks rushed and disinterested.
