review:

'Mind the Gap, Volume 1: Intimate Strangers' is a mind trip. It's also not a complete story arc. I don't think that should stop you, but it's something you should know going in.



Elle Peterssen comes from a wealthy family full of not so nice people. She is also in a coma. She is still an interesting character because she's in a strange out of body state. Her best friend is trying to figure out how this happened to Elle, and Elle is also trying to find the person that put her in a coma. The problem is there are a lot of suspicious characters. There is also a larger subplot happening, but it doesn't get too far off the ground in this book. Throughout the book there are song lyrics from various eras. I think this might hold clues, but they weren't revealed as of yet. Maybe they are just there to be cool.



I liked the story, but it was a bit too nighttime soap opera for me (think Dallas or Dynasty). I really liked the art, and the covers are really, really great. If I saw this on the newsstand, I'd pick it up just for the covers. I think I'd like to read more and find out what happens to Elle.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
