Joe Kelly and JM Ken Niimura: I Kill Giants

[Mirabell]

Baseball, Thor and Barbara?s art and appearance are all mixed in this heady, emotionally powerful book, which shows us a person, enmeshed in cultural, mythical and social contexts who draws on her imagination, on her art to cope with personal problems. This is a very strong recommendation. You may not be as moved as I was, but you can?t miss the craft of Niimura?s art and the overall strength of the writing. Niimura?s work here stunned me, and it will stun you, however you react to Joe Kelly?s sadly uneven writing. This is a very, very good book, made by two masters of their trade. Given the fact that Niimura?s career has only just begun, this book is also a promise of great things to come. In my opinion, I Kill Giants is a masterpiece, but even if you disagree, you?ll still be admiring a lot of it.
