( ) I had a hard time starting this graphic novel, but once I got into it I was pleasantly surprised. The illustrations are well done and I really liked the landscapes and expressions. I felt the characters appeared younger then they were intended to be and that was hard to adjust to while reading. The story was really interesting. It is one of love and loss, loss and acceptance. The motivating element of music was expressed well in the illustrations when ID was playing his guitar. Recommended for older teens and new adults.

This collection deals with Id, a teenage guitar player whose girlfriend dies. He inherits her dog, Elsy, and mourns in his own way by playing guitar on the radio under the alias, Doomboy. Rivalries and love also have an important impact on the story as well as mystical abilities. Other friends and characters emerge, most long-haired and not easily recognisable. The artwork is basic and not my cup of tea on the whole although the fantasy scenes are beautifully illustrated. Recommended. no reviews | add a review
