This week’s Ice Cream Man #43 moves between both these tones and more on any given page.
And what writers!Yer actual Grant Morrison!
Kelly Sue DeConnick,Patton Oswalt, Matt Fraction, and more.
That feels like a very tight constraint.
Realistically, how much story can you fit into a single page?
The answer to that, it turns out, is: much more than you think.
Others, however, force the reader to slow down and absorb every last detail.
Geoff Johns' ‘Lickety Split’ uses a rigid 16-panel grid, ending with a methodically-paced punchline.
Prince’s ‘Who’s In Charge?’
Then there’s ‘For James’ by Zoe Thorogood.
It’s a touching and heartfelt piece, but also a devastating one.
A beautiful piece of work, it reminds you just how flexible the horror genre really is.
With 22 stories here there are, of course, a couple that don’t quite land.
Thatisa very real nightmare, I agree, but it adds little to the issue.
Ice Cream Man #43 is out now from Image Comics.
