"Too Cool To Be Forgotten" Helps Us Remember What Makes Comics Good!
by Bruce Edwards
May 5th, 2008 - First things first--I don't really get the title. Though the super-cool cover of the graphic novel makes reference to a pack of Kool cigarettes, I don't really know what it has to do with the rest of the story. He's not necessarily cool, and what happens to him isn't necessarily cool. So that's offputting.
Also, I never read any of Alex (Box Office Poison) Robinson's other work, so this was my introduction to someone who seems to be largely regarded as a leader in the indie/graphic novel field, and, honestly, it's easy to see why.
