MangaLife gives Clarence an ‘A’
Published by Fehed 1 year agoSteven Mortiboy from MangaLife.Com reviewed Clarence a little while back, but I was too lazy to post anything up on here. Warning: The full review technically, kinda, possibly, contains spoilers.
Because of the look of “The Clarence Principle” and the trends of this publisher this book is going to be pigeonholed as gothic fairytale. I can see a lot of people describing it as a dark twisted Alice in Wonderland. I don’t see this as an insult or a disservice however I see this book as having many influences ranging from gothic books and films to Jeff Smith’s “Bone”.
I would say that if you like the idea of Donnie Darko meeting Alice in Wonderland and they go for a drink in a Tim Burton Film then give this book the attention that it deserves - you won’t regret it.
# read full review
I love that bit in bold text right there. what a great visual.
Thanks Steven!
i started reading the full review only to get 2 paragraphs down and realise its giving to much away…. it got me a little annoyed actually. from what i read (and im not reading anymore untill i get the book) its another review that would make the reader (of the review) buy the book just because of how the reviewer “reviewed” it.
make sure to put a warning about spoilers next time :’(
Oh dude, I’m so sorry ^^; I didn’t really think of it as having spoilers, but I guess you’re right. I’ll edit the post now to have a warning.
I thought you bought the book already? XD
havnt got it yet, i’ve got to go into the city to get it. and i live about 100kms away from there. so maybe in the next month or so.. (trust me if i could i’d have bought it already) i dont go into the city much you see.
Im uber excited about it!! XD
CONGRATS! on the Good review I haven’t read it yet since i don’t want any spoilers (hasn’t gotten the book yet).
Holy Crap. I actually met you guys at Comic Con. I bought “The Clarence Principle” and could not stop reading it til I was done. It was utterly amazing! The story, the artwork. Actually, I made it a point to walk by the SLG booth at Wonder-Con, just to see if you guys were there. Sadly, no. But yeah, the book is quite beautiful, can’t wait to read what you guys come up with next. And, p.s., I’m actually doing a presentation on you for my Comics as Literature class.
