While we aren't going to be getting anything new from Thompson (if you don't count Garry Trudeau's depiction of Duke), but it would be nice to see a new interpretation of his work that we haven't already seen"especially from this creator.

But, in the end, the creative team was able to take a simple plot and use it to tell a hilarious story. More than that, this issue shows us the oddball personalities of the main characters as they interact and play off each other. It's the group dynamic of Esther, Daisy, and Susan that makes Giant Days such a fun book to read.

This chapter had less Elmore Leonard-styled crime and more Wes Anderson whimsy, which made it a good balance to the crime-heavy first chapter. The world and the characters created by the creative team is both fun and dangerous, two things that pretty much encapsulate childhood. Ilook forward to an interesting chapter three!
