Told, in most cases, through the eyes of teenage girls or young women, these stories exhibit a unique prose style that perfectly captures the conversational rhythms, and preoccupations, of their generation. Abuse, betrayal and neglect lurk beneath a veneer of mutually maintained normality, waiting for an opportunity to resurface. The characters in Mirja Unge's debut collection are all, in their own way, evading something whether failing to confront the true nature of an encounter, or avoiding responsibilities as a parent, sibling or friend. In a checkout queue, a woman suddenly shows charity to a penniless guy she apparently doesn't know. In a remote woodland cottage, an eccentric explains to his granddaughter why he shoots cats whenever they make themselves too comfortable. On Christmas Eve, a girl stalks an older man through wintery city streets, haunted by their shared past. However Deep Cuts may develop, there's little doubt that issue #1 will be worth checking out. Artist Danilo Beyruth's work possesses an immediate power capable of translating both the indulgent settings and straining horns of jazz into pages that capture its power. Image Comics has a long history of successful adaptations of music to comics, ranging from the likes of Phonogram to recent coups like Blue in Green Deep Cuts threatens to follow in that tradition and focus on a style of music filled with a modern history tracing the veins of the United States. Kyle Higgins and Joe Clark's work on the "Massive-verse" have shown their style with the superhero genre, but Deep Cuts threatens to be a much more passion-driven project given its lack of emphasis on the direct market's best-selling fare. Six double-sized issues detailing the tragedies and joys of jazz's history across the 20th century from some of the most acclaimed names working with Image Comics today is about all the pitching that's required for Deep Cuts.

One theme that I’ve latched on to in TenNapel’s work is the idea of transformation. I read Ghostopolis earlier in the year, and tore through Tommysaurus Rex and Cardboard in the past few days. Those things just won’t stay on the shelves! Graphic novels are a genre that I don’t have much experience with or knowledge about, but when several friends recommended TenNapel’s books to me, I thought it was high time I dove in and saw what all the fuss was about. If I was in charge of collection development for my local library system, I’d be considering ordering 2-3 more copies of every graphic novel by Doug TenNapel, since earlier this year it took me two months to get my hands on even one copy for a graduate school assignment.
