BGCP - Michael Lennox
Oct 18, 2021Lemire is deliberately allowing readers to interpret this book as either a mystery book where a father looks for this daughter or as a form of cognitive behavioural therapy where he uses his daughters love of puzzles to come to terms with her loss. At this point, I don't know which one will be correct at the end but it's a hell of a read. Read Full Review

Oct 13, 2021Mazebook continues to be an intriguing delve into Will's mind as he struggles with loss and we have to wonder how much is real and how much is in his mind. Naturally, part of you wants it all to be real, for him to discover that they were wrong all along and she's alive somehow. But then there's the reality that it's just that Will needs to finally move forward with his life and accept things and that this is the process his mind has landed on to try and help him work through it all. I really like the possibilities here and like some of Lemire's other works that he illustrated, it has such a distinctive look to it that I'm drawn to it even more. I'm eager to see what's next.

Oct 13, 2021Mazebook #2 is an interesting read. Where you are in your life might impact in how you approach the series. As a relatively new father, I read the series and think of it as my worst nightmare. Those who might have lost a child or those with no children are sure to experience it in another way. No matter how you approach it, it's hard to deny Jeff Lemire is showing why he's considered one of the current greats. Read Full Review

Mazebook #2 introduces us to the journey that will be filled with puzzles and mazes which Will Warren will undertake to find his daughter Wendy. We learned in the first issue that Wendy passed away ten years ago and ever since then, Will has become a recluse - essentially giving up on truly living his life. The sole comfort he has is the monotonous daily routine he follows that helps him preoccupy his thoughts. That is until he receives a phone call at the end of the fist issue, which he believes to be Wendy asking him to find her and rescue her from the Maze she is trapped in. Will decides to revisit parts of his and Wendy's past in order to find clues that will hopefully help him make sense of everything. Ultimately what he discovers more

#Mazebook by @jefflemire and @darkhorsecomics continues to impress with issue 2. The sense of desperation is palpable as the protagonist struggles with that fine line between fantasy and reality, desperately wanting to believe what logic dictates cannot possibly be true.

Another incredibly fascinating chapter in this story. Jeff Lemire seriously delivers with this title, and doubles down on the emotional driving point this time around, becoming one of the deeper books I've read this year.
