Not a massive departure from previous issues, but Lil Depressed Boy retains its charm and tremendous art work and tugs on our heart strings just a little bit Read Full Review

Sina Grace's artwork is unusual but ultimately effective and attractive. The art is loose and rough in appearance, but that helps to convey the melancholy fog that looms over the title character throughout the book. The artist also brings a strong sense of place to the mix. While he boasts a simpler style, there's also a convincing look to LDP's apartment, the eatery in which he and Drew dine, and the landscape across which they travel on a spur-of-the-moment adventure. I don't get why LDP looks so much different than the regular people around him, but that's a failure of the writing, not the artwork. Maybe there's no explanation and his appearance is merely meant as a symbolic representation of his depression, or maybe there's something more to it. I'm curious to find out, but as far as my appreciation of this collection of interesting moments from a normal lifetime, the title character's distinctive look doesn't affect it. Read Full Review
