Apr 26, 2023Deep Cuts #1 is an excellent intro that infuses a tangible tempo into the story of a young man finding his way in the world. The books focus on how the music exists on the page, and how it changes based on character, location, and intention creates a fascinating juxtaposition of sound. The creative team utilizes their craft to ensure the music plays to the story, and vice versa, making it an integral part of the story that many music-themed books lack. Even without a soundtrack playing in the background, the music sings throughout this comic and draws the reader in, reminding them to experience each beat in the moment. Read Full Review

Listening to old school jazz while reading this one and I am in love. It was fantastic. The art. The story. Just perfect and nothing bad to say from me.

It's a basic story, but it flowed and read really well. Told a nice complete story. I can say that it exceeded my expectations.

This book is a depthful read, that aims to tell a relatable coming of age story in a by gone era... a genre everyone knows and revers today, but from the perspective of the smaller eras of the past and the people who helped define it and make it what it is today. It rains the name Deep Cuts. And it also earns the praise it has recieved. Just read it. And the next issue. You won't regret it. If you want something different than cape books, this is right up your alley.
