How did I miss this? Because I am a bad person. But I'm on track now, having purchased the first two issues this very day; as a by the by, I think my issue one is a second printing (just checked and it is), so that should give hope to anyone who missed out and doesn't want to wait for the trades (forbidden planet had a nice pile if anyone wants one).
So; best comic I can lay my hands on at the moment? Well, if it isn't it's certainly better than everything bar Incognito, and to be honest, it's better than that. I'm preaching to the choir here. I loved the first series, which I picked up in trade last year, and love this so much more. Britpop was my thing at the time, but being so young the scene passed me by. Mainly because I was 11 when Definetly Maybe came out. I remember a boy shouted at me because I said I loved Oasis, but didn't know who the bassist was when asked; though, thinking back, he supported Chelsea but couldn't name a player, so I feel it was a wash.
This however, was my salad days. I was what, 22 in 2006, I danced to these songs and fell in love with these girls (from afar). This has tickled me no end, mainly because I was Llyod - all self concious noise about music and shouting at girls because I liked them and was angry. CSS is mine and my fiances song, so at least I grew up a little. I love the end of Pull Shapes, the line "But they played my song anyway." followed by the shot of Silent Girl having taken control of the decks, giving Penny a little music hug to cheer her up and put her back on track. If I was more manly I'd admit to how it touched me deeply, but I'm not so I'll say something about it putting a lump in my throat, and leave it at that.
If the reveal of issue two is a hint at things to come, I'm in for life. Awesome, awesome stuff. |
