Though it's packaged with cute humor and stylish artwork, SNOTGIRL #1 fails to convey the sense of youthful curiosity and self-discovery it aims at. Perhaps as the series continues, the story will fall into its stride and deliver the effortless emotional punch that O'Malley is truly capable of. But as it stands now, SNOTGIRL becomes a middling-at-best teenage drama that's sadly lacking in hilarity. Hopefully O'Malley will put down his storytelling crutches soonand rediscover a voice that's original and unique.
