There's a whole lot I like about this book, but one I want to mention is how Thorogood uses wildly different techniques and art styles to create a mood or represent a thematic element. Her usage of line, space and color expertly conveys her ideas, no matter how non-traditional she may get. Everyone's journey with depression is unique, and Thorogood is able to use the medium of comics to craft a very personal tale about her own brand of mental illness.

I have a ton of thoughts and feelings about this book, but overall it's an excellent comic about creating your own meaning both in art and in life. I'm excited to follow Zoe's career!

I realize, and accept, that Tim King can be a very verbose comic writer. His storytelling usually benefits from this style, however Supergirl is just long & exposition heavy and did not work for me. Love the art though.

My least favorite King book.

I think a big reason I could never get into Doctor Who is because I don't buy The Doctor as a centuries old being. He's just too normal, too charismatic. Someone who's hundreds of years old would almost certainly be a little weirdo like Frieren.

I absolutely loved the side story at the end of this volume.

I remember years ago trying to get into Pratchett after finishing Good Omens so I picked up the first book in the Discworld series, The Colour of Magic. I wasn't really feeling it so I gave up, then every Terry Pratchett fan told me nobody should start with the first book of the Discworld series because it's probably the worst book in the series and isn't really indicative of why it resonates with so many people. After reading Guards, Guards, I'm inclined to agree.
