REFLECTIONS #3
by Marco Corona
Sorry, no more pirates in this issue. The third and final installment of Marco Corona's haunting mini-series (the first Ignatz to conclude its limited run) returns to the settings of the first (a seaside town, a castle, an old lady's apartment), but now also in lush duotone, as a reflective Miranda flashes back to her life as a child and as an adolescent, with memories, dreams, and the harsh reality of unfeeling parents, a sickly brother, and a violent episode of her youth contrasting with her visions of a shimmeringly beautiful castle. Reflections is a haunting, masterful graphic novel that rewards multiple readings - and of course, presented in the lushly deluxe, jacketed "Ignatz" format.
