As a matter of face, I think the quote from the afterword, “maybe I'm shooting for a B+ movie”, kinda tells you everything you need to know about this book. It is not AAA material, and if you expect that from it, you're not going to like it. What it is, is a silly, impossible story with mixed metaphors and half-statements meant to get you to think, but not too deeply, because above all, it just wants to thrill you for a while. A story about a middle aged black man waking up in the body of a white teenaged girl and just accepting that now he has to continue on with her life should not be taken too seriously. Yes, it's unbelievable. Yes, there are huge plot holes. Yes, it's all a little hard to take in. But that's really the point. Comics, and indeed art itself, were once supposed to shock you and scare you and knock you off balance a little bit. That's what this is about, and it does a fine job of it. It's up to you to decide if that's what you want from a comic or not. Read Full Review
