Indy-Pendant Reviews Family Bones #2
Based on a true story, Sean, a rebellious teenager sent to stay with his aunt and uncle on their farm, has found himself knee deep in a mess of trouble and chores.
In this issue, Sean is given the task to move rocks and plow the field, something he has never done before. In the process of making a mess of it he encounters an attractive, witty girl who comes to his rescue, much to his delight.
Later on things go from bad to worse though, as teased by the cover, when Sean has to slaughter a chicken for dinner. All this would be somewhat tame if not for Uncle Ray's violent and unforgiving temper, which Sean has learned all too well.
This issue was much better than the last. The writing, for the most part, was not disjointed at all, and the flow of the story was easy and fun to read. Only at one point was there a stutter in the dialogue, which was just a small repetitive exchange that played out one gag too many. Aside from that though this was a pretty solid issue.
The art was also much better this issue. No offense to the artist of last issue, but the new artist just had a much better grasp on anatomy and storytelling. And his women are beautiful!
Speaking of which, as this is tagged a 'mature readers' book, there was one scene where things got a tad graphic, but for the most part was tasteful and discreet.
Knowing this is based on a true story and seeing how the story has progressed thus far both intrigues and sends chills up my spine. You can only get a sense of what is in store for Sean at this point, and that alone makes this feel very real.
