The sixty-first comic: #676 Stray Bullets

Stray Bullets is one of those comics that feel a bit weird reading on the train. Not as much the cartoon boobs - they're rare and easily hidden - but it gets incredibly violent. Probably more interesting is the psychological arc of Ginny, a girl who doesn't get along with her mother, runs away and gets involved with organized crime soon after she witnesses a murder and, a bit later, her father passes away. It's clear a bunch of bad things happen to her that makes her withdraw into her fantasy world, but at the same time for parts it's unclear what's fantasy and what's real. The simpler art style is effective at conveying that misdirection by treating it all equally and these passages are probably the best. Later issues becomes more grounded and, at the same time, more serious, with a grounded setting but messed up things that happen. It's a breathtaking read that we rushed through.
