It's not often I go over the top about too many things - at least I don't think it is. I may be "very enthusiastic" about certain things that are great, but the spin does tend to drop off within 24 hours as I move on to the next thing.
However, some things are too good to let go with a single crack of the whip. Daytripper is one of those things. If you've fallen behind with graphic novels, feel like you can take them or leave them or have even never read on in your entire life, change all of those things now. Go and pick up a copy of Daytripper today - or order it from here.
Quite possibly, it's the most important graphic novel published since, well, the others weren't really important as such - they were fun. Daytripper has got some really serious depth and if you're smart about reading it, it will put a lot of things into perspective for you on any aspect of life that you might like to attach to it.
Alternatively, you could always just pick it up and enjoy it for the killer story it is and let certain aspects of it wash over you, but I don't see how anybody with any remnants of a soul possibly could.
I'm not alone in my thinking. This past weekend at the MCM Comic Expo in London, the book won two shiny Eagle awards.
Check in on Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon here. I can put it no better than they did themselves:
"This is our book, about a regular guy in Brazil without super powers, that's not a zombie and that have not been turned into a major motion picture. It's just our book, and apparently people want to read it."
