![]() ![]() You start killing people just to get some pussy, inviting them in your house, push a couple drinks in front of, looking for some easy action. "Black Hole" is a terrifying monster-vagina that sucks you into hell, then spaghettifies you into a fucked-up, horny mess. I dunno, I've had sex a couple times and it was okay I don't understand how you can both have sex and still stay obsessive over it (hook-up apps did make things easy, heh.) Why are people so stir-crazy about sex? It's leaving me on edge. ![]() The only criticism I could really make is that there is perhaps a bit too much teen angst, but I suppose that is a necessary part of it. The black and white art is superb, and Burns avoids the more cliched plot developments in favour of something more subtle. This book is eerie, creepy, spaced-out, romantic, erotic and weird. Once you are ostracised, your only real option may be to leave. The plague's deformities could be taken as a physical symbol of the kind of stigma that is often attached to promiscuous teenagers in small communities. Laced into this story are familiar themes of teenage, alienation, self-loathing, tentative steps into first love, and cruel mockery. Most victims eventually feel the need to exclude themselves from society and go live in the woods. Some deformities are extreme, others can be covered up, but all are irreversible. A group of high school kids are aware of a sexually-transmitted plague affecting some of them, that leads to hideous deformities. This graphic novel is set in 1970s suburban Seattle. ![]()
