The Impending Blindness Of Billie Scott by Zoe Thorogood

Ma quando tutto sembrava ormai statico e piatto giunse alla sua porta una bella notizia: la famosa galleria New Arts l’aveva ingaggiata per realizzare dei dipinti. I'm honestly only taking away a star because of the painfully tiny lettering that could easily be used to blind the reader, and which made me think that the creator wanted the audience's eyes to feel uncomfortable, given the subject. But I have no proof of that, so let's get to the good stuff. Billie Scott is an artist who just got her big break— right before finding out she'll be blind in two weeks. A woman with severe social anxiety has been accepted at a gallery, only while she’s making the paintings, she’s mugged, with the result being impending blindness. The main journey is her struggle to figure out if she wants to, or if it’s viable to complete the gallery showing beforehand.Incarcerated. Retired. Dead. Nothing's gonna stop these Rogues from getting theirs, as the Flash’s deadly enemies come out of retirement for one last—and potentially fatal—score! Christopher Chance has 12 days to solve his own murder! Superstar writer Tom King and acclaimed artist Greg Smallwood continue the noir examination of a classic DC character! The story jumps around a lot and we move onto new characters before we get to know anyone. It felt very surface level with the relationships and I wish we spent more time on a small cast of characters as opposed to being rapidly introduced to a larger cast of new ones.

THE IMPENDING BLINDNESS OF BILLIE INDIE VIEW: Seeing through THE IMPENDING BLINDNESS OF BILLIE

Did I stay up way too late reading this in one sitting as I could not put it down? YEP. Is Zoe Thorogood the future of comics? Yea, probably? Weird question, sorry, why would I ask that. Oh, it’s because everything Thorogood does is so goddamn engrossing that I just want to shout about it to everyone. Which I have been doing at the bookstore anytime someone so much as glances at the graphic novel section. But for real, The Impending Blindness of Billie Scott from Zoe Thorogood is a delight. We follow runaway artist Billie who, on the cusp of their big break with a gallery showing, is the victim of random violence that leaves her going blind. With only weeks before her eyesight is gone, she sets out to make 10 portraits and keep her artistic dreams alive, facing the cruelty of living on the streets but having meaningful conversations and making lasting friends along the way. This is a moving story, with lots of ups and downs and emotional grit that really sinks its claws into you. Like the way a cat will climb up your leg and you think “ow!” but then “aw” because it snuggles up in your lap and you love cats. This book is like if that cat was art, all brought to life through Thorogood’s incredible artwork and humor. THERE IS A GIRL. She has no memory and no name. Nothing but a GUARDIAN. An armored giant who protects her from predators and pitfalls. psychedelia-esque curves represent smoke and musical vibrations, which seems suitable given that smoke and music, both ephemeral materials, have often been used as metaphors for each other. The visual language Thorogood develops throughout the book to denote music is employed at a later stage in a moment where the comic attempts to show something that is invisible through visual signs. It is an impressive effort to achieve something so counterintuitive. Christopher Chance has 12 days to solve his own murder! Superstar writer Tom King and acclaimed artist Greg Smallwood team for a new, noir examination of a classic DC character!
